Tokai Alumni Association Denmark's New Years Gathering and Lecture about Japanese Garden Art

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.
