Approximately 450 cherry trees were planted in Slovakia in 2020 to commemorate 100 years of
bilateral exchange with Japan. The
planting of these trees led to the commencement of the Sakura and
Art Festival in parts of Slovakia
in 2023, and both cherry blossom-themed events and events
introducing Japanese culture were held this year.
As part of this year's Sakura and Art Festival, an exhibition of
cherry blossom drawings by children from Slovakia and Japan was held from June 10 to 22. On display at this event were
cherry blossom pictures drawn by children from both countries,
among which were 25 pictures by elementary school students in Gifu
Prefecture, central Japan,
delivered to the venue by NX Germany's Bratislava Branch. Gifu Prefecture has close
ties with Slovakia, having been a
host town for Slovak athletes taking part in the 2021 Tokyo
Paralympics.
An opening ceremony for the exhibition was attended by
Ambassador of Japan to the Slovak
Republic Yasuhiro Kawakami and other dignitaries, and many people
came to see the drawings by Japanese elementary school students,
making the exhibition a valuable opportunity for cultural
exchange.
The NX Group will continue engaging in social contribution
activities to actively help deepen exchange between Japan and the rest of the world.
