1. Japanmarkt Leipzig

In the organizer's words:

Our love of Japanese culture is the driving force behind the development of our culture and design markets in Munich, Berlin and Cologne. Munich was the birthplace of our Japanese cultural event series. The Japandult has been delighting its many visitors there since 2013. In Berlin, moij momente has been organizing the Japan Market since 2018.

Now we would like to bring our Japanese cultural festival to your city.
Come to WERK 2 on 15.06.2025 to celebrate the first JAPANMARKT LEIPZIG with us!

The cultural program of the JAPANMARKT gives the audience the opportunity to embark on a journey into traditional and modern Japan and to get to know the diversity and changeability of this culture. For each event, the JAPAN EVENTS team curates a special selection of artists and prepares thematically coordinated contributions. A varied stage program with several concerts, Japanese dance and traditional Japanese samurai martial arts awaits you on 15.06.2025.

You can look forward to the following artists, among others:

- Traditional Japanese samurai martial arts from the Hokushin Ittō-Ryū Hyōhō martial arts school
- Japanese dance performance with music with Chihoco Yanagi and Ritsuko Takayama
- MIYU & JAY / Hip Hop Live Concert
- Live concert SOSOSO J-Pop and J-Rock
- Live concert NILO / City Pop

Many exhibitors are waiting for you in Hall A to offer their work. There will be ukiyo-e, porcelain and ceramic products, screen printing, origami jewelry, sculptures, various illustrations, textiles, bento boxes, haikus and much more. Two tattoo artists will also be working on site.

Workshops round off the program.

Japanese cuisine is a culinary experience, which we naturally also want to present to you.

Okonomiyaki, gyoza, ramen and gyudon are just a few of the specialties on offer at our Japanese market. But you will also be able to try sweets such as tayaki or matcha pastries. The traditional Japanese drink sake will also be on offer, as well as the increasingly popular matcha in a wide range of variations.
