Call for Participants: "Momiji – Japanese Autumn in Estonia 2025 ～Let’s enjoy Japanese culture, art, sports... and more!"

The Embassy of Japan in Estonia, in collaboration with the Japanese Cultural Society in Estonia (Jaapani Kultuuri Koda), will host "Momiji – Japanese Autumn in Estonia 2025," a series of events celebrating Japanese culture, art, and sports from September to November 2025. This initiative aims to showcase the rich, modern, and diverse appeal of Japanese culture and provide opportunities to experience Japanese artistry and spirituality, thereby deepening mutual understanding and friendship between our two nations.
To make this event a success, we are inviting organizations, municipalities, and individuals in Estonia to submit their Japan-related events for inclusion in our program. By joining, we can introduce and promote them collectively as part of "Momiji."
* “Momiji” is the name for the beautiful red leaves of Japanese maple trees in autumn. It's a symbol of the gorgeous fall season in Japan, so be sure to remember the name!
