Minishiki Japan 2026

Discover the beauty of Japanese winter traditions during a unique cultural immersion day at Minishiki Japan.

Minishiki Japan, the winter edition of the Japanese traditions fair in Montpellier, is back on December 12, 2026.

Join us at Gazette Café for a day dedicated to celebrating Japanese culture and craftsmanship as the year-end holidays approach. An immersive experience in the heart of Montpellier.

Created as a continuation of Nishiki Japan, the Japanese traditions fair that takes place over a weekend every July, the Furusato association offers a smaller format in winter, a "mini" version of the usual fair for one day. Designed for enthusiasts, the curious, and families, join us in the warm and symbolic atmosphere of Japanese winter.

A few days before Christmas, you can select from our craft items stand beautiful original gifts, accessible to all and coming directly from Japan.

A free workshop on Furoshiki will allow you to learn how to wrap your gifts in an original and eco-friendly way. Elegance and originality guaranteed.

For the first time at our festival, you will have the pleasure of discovering the art of Kintsugi with a Japanese artist who will hold a stand and present her work.

Japanese story readings, kimono fittings, and a traditional dance demonstration will complete this beautiful day inspired by a time of year rich in symbols.

A rare opportunity to discover Japanese culture in winter, through its festivals, rites, and artistic creations.
