Ju Kim (South Korea), Christian Przybylski (Germa- ny) as well as by Wlodzimierz Pietraszko (Poland) and Rácz Gyorgy (Hungary) on Saturday and Sunday. e performances were well attended. e New Tal- ent winner came from Poland, the second and third winner from Monaco and Switzerland. Lectures on suiseki were given by Chiara Padrini and Igor Bárta.
e numerous activities of the Japanese Culture Festival such as demonstrations and workshops of ikebana, tea ceremony, calligraphy, ink painting (sumi-e), Japanese costume (kimono), martial arts
(aikido, kendo, karate, jujitsu) and much more, took place in the same building as the European convention over all three days. e lectures on Japanese culture and art forms were held only in Lithuanian language so unfortunately foreign guests couldn’t follow.
All in all, this year’s European convention was a success.
