Presentation

For Japan Expo Sud, the city of Marseille will be realizing a set inspired from the art of Japanese gardens: a modern interpretation that invites the attendees to discover karesansui (rock gardens).

This place for meditating and contemplating, that dates back to the 12th century, is a symbolic representation of nature featuring two elements: the mountains and water. Erect stones represent the mountains and gravel, moss, or sand stand for water.

An ornamental pond with Japanese plants and in the middle of which you’ll see a pagoda, typical of Japanese architecture, finishes the set.

 
 

Activities

Origami (the art of folding paper), calligraphy, and sakura (creating a cherry tree branch) workshops are organized for free all three days of the festival. 

The city of Marseille is inviting you to a journey of relaxation and serenity through the discovery of the Japanese cultural heritage.
