On Saturday, July 9, the “German-Japanese Day” organized by the German-Japanese Society of the Lower Rhine e.V. took place at the ruins of the Imperial Palace in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth. As is often the case with summer outdoor events, two rain showers interrupted the colorful stage program featuring jazz music, the Japanese Club’s men’s choir, and the Tentekko drum group. However, this did not dampen the good mood, as the sun quickly came out again.

The two kyudo demonstrations were able to take place without getting rained on, allowing many visitors to get a sense of the traditional Japanese art of archery. The interest and questions from the German-Japanese audience were correspondingly lively during the breaks between the demonstrations.
