Myanmar Festival 2018

Also known as Burma, the once oppressive and secretive but now rapidly developing southeast Asian nation of Myanmar may not have the name recognition of its neighbours when it comes to cultural soft power, but boasts a vibrant, multi-ethnic culture and heritage. Learn more about the country, its arts and eats at Zojoji, where this festival sees most of Tokyo's Burmese restaurants set up stalls, performers show off traditional dance and music, NPOs promote their activities and vendors sell folk crafts.
