On January 27th we had the honour of hosting a Lecture Evening in collaboration with Dansk-Japansk-Selskab, where author Marie Lau Florin told us about her pilgrimage journey through Shikoku 88.
Throughout this lecture, Ms. Florin would share her own experience of wandering through the world's oldest pilgrimage route, a 1.300 kilometer journey across the Japanese Island Shikoku, where she visited the 88 temples along the way together with her husband. The Lecture included an enthusiastic rendering of what it felt like for her to be a complete stranger and beginner, and how this experience made her feel like a little child again. The presentation would also include beautiful pictures, as well as hands on advice, for anyone interested in going on the journey for themselves. We would like to give a big thanks to Marie La Florin, Dansk-Japansk-Selskab and of course everyone who attended this event.

Tokai Alumni Association Denmark's New Years Gathering and Lecture about Japanese Garden Art1/23/2026 On January 23rd we held our annual Tokai Alumni Association New Years Gathering, which consisted of a Lecture Event followed by a sushi buffet for all to enjoy.
The Lecture was about Japanese Garden Art, and was done by the architect and author Frans Borgman Hansen. At the Lecture Professor Hansen showcased his own pictures and drawings from his studying period in Japan, which focused on Japanese Garden Art and Architectural History. Some of the key elements of the Lecture were the aesthetical concepts that permeate Japanese Garden Art and Architecture, such as imbalance, imperfection and simplicity - derived from Zen-buddhism and the perception of nature during the Heian-period. We were honoured to see so many guests joining this event, making it a wonderful first event of this year. |
