A festival of Bulgarian culture, arts, business and cuisine will be held on Saturday (November 16) at the Josai University in Tokyo, the Japanese-Bulgarian Association said.

Two lectures will be given during the event - "Bulgaria - an introduction to the Shoppe region" by the Japanese studies specialist Victoria Georgieva, and "Thracian spiritual culture seen in the burial mounds of the world heritage", presented by Yasuo Kane, professor at the University of Tokyo.

Visitors to the Bulgarian festival will also have the opportunity to learn about traditional Bulgarian folklore through performances by the Nusha Ensemble.

"In addition to lectures and wonderful guests, we will also set up booths offering products related to Bulgaria, including Bulgarian wine, delicatessen and cosmetic products with Damascena rose oil, and traditional Troyan pottery," the Japan-Bulgaria Association team added.

The Bulgarian festival is organised in cooperation with the Bulgarian Embassy in Japan
