On Wednesday, May 10, 2023, second-year students from LMA–ASE had the opportunity to attend a lecture followed by a karuta workshop—a traditional Japanese game based on classical Japanese poetry.
Takeaways?
“It was so refreshing to realize that a different culture has so many things that are so relevant to us.”
“I didn’t expect classical poetry to be so entertaining.”
“I was a little lost at the beginning, but then I got so involved in the game!”
“We discovered a new side of our colleague: she’s so competitive! :)”
“Japanese poetry games can be so intense!”
We had fun, and we learned that by getting to know others, we actually learn more about ourselves.
The event was organized by the ASE Center for Japanese Studies, in partnership with the Department of Applied Modern Languages and Business Communication and JICA, with support from the Embassy of Japan in Romania.
