PETROPERU joins commemoration of 120 years of japanese immigration to the country

The magic of traditional Japanese dance will be presented for the first time in the auditorium of PETROPERU, commemorating 120 years of Japanese immigration to our country. This is "The Way of the Wind", a presentation of percussion and oriental dance by the group Yuna Daiko, specialist in oriental drums, which seeks the dissemination of that ancient culture, focusing mainly on the performing arts and commemorating the 120 years of Japanese immigration to Peru.

The renowned Japanese artist Chieko Kojima will have a special participation, because she will pay tribute to her ancestors with traditional dances from her country. She is considered one of the greatest exponents of Japanese ancestral dance and creator of the Hana-hachijo style, a variant of the traditional style that is danced in Hachihojima, an island located in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, almost 290 kilometers from Tokyo.

The activity will take place this Thursday, September 12, starting at 7:30 pm. in the Auditorium of the PETROPERU Cultural Center. Admission is totally free. Capacity is limited.

Parallel to this day, a temporary sample of Japanese calligraphy, called “Winds of Japan”, was developed by the calligrapher Hamano Ryuho, recognized internationally for his masterly exhibitions and conferences. His works have already been exhibited in the Hall of the Auditorium of PETROPERU and will remain open to the public until next Friday the 13th.

In this way, the state oil company seeks to share Japanese culture by organizing cultural events in order to integrate the entire community and nothing better than the performing arts to achieve union between the two countries.
