This year, the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 will take place over the weekend of September 21 and 22. Every year, these two days are dedicated to discovering France's heritage and cultural wealth. Places sometimes closed to the public open their doors to reveal the secrets of the capital! For the occasion, the Maison de la Culture du Japon is organizing anikebana demonstration.
Launched in France in 1984 by the Ministry of Culture, the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) are a not-to-be-missed annual event. They offer the public the opportunity to visit fascinating sites, including historic monuments, administrative buildings, cultural venues and private homes. The event even became European in 1991, thanks to the Council of Europe, and attracts millions of visitors! This year, the Maison de la Culture du Japon is getting in on the fun, with a special program for Heritage Days 2024.
The Maison de la culture du Japon in Paris, inaugurated in 1997, is a cultural center located in the 15th arrondissement. Its mission is to promote Japanese culture in France through a rich and varied program that includes art exhibitions, theater and dance performances, film screenings, workshops and conferences. For the Journées du Patrimoine 2024, it is organizing an ikebana demonstration. But what is ikebana? Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, which emphasizes harmony, balance and simplicity to create poetic compositions.
