PH:Tamashii Convention: TamaMATSURI

Due to the success of its first Tamashii Convention last 2011, the Nihon Kenkyuu Kai has once again hold a Japanese Pop Culture Convention, entitled “TamaMatsuri” last March 24, 2012. The word “matsuri” in the title alludes to how we envision this year’s “TamaCon” as an event similar to a festival. This year’s they aimed in allowing its participants to experience a Japanese festival, with activities and games being based on those found in actual festivals in Japan. It has been one of the big events of Nihon Kenkyuu Kai.

The Nihon Kenkyuu Kai (NKK) is the professional organization for Japanese Studies Majors of De La Salle University and students who are interested in Japan and its culture. NKK fosters mutual understanding in building bridges of friendship among Filipinos and Japanese.
