Wagashi is the art of making Japanese traditional sweets. In spring 2012, the Japan Foundation, in cooperation with Embassy of Japan and The Emporium Shopping Complex, will invite three Japanese experts (craftsmen) to Bangkok from the prestigious wagashi confectionaries in Kure, Kanazawa and Ashikaga, to introduce the history and beauty of wagashi through lectures and demonstrations. Through the demonstrations during Japanese Festival at The Emporium Shopping Complex, the Japanese unique sense of the four seasons and beauty will be displayed in delicate colors and shapes using finely crafted techniques.
