The 6th edition, taking place on 13 September 2026 in Cerro Maggiore, Italy, has a special significance as this year marks the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan. The event is open to everyone. 

The programme will offer visitors the opportunity to experience different expressions of Japanese culture, from Bon Odori to traditional music and performances. Special guest Kyokumi Tashiro will travel from Japan to perform on the Biwa, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. 

For Duplomatic, a member of the Daikin Group, supporting this initiative over the years is a way to promote dialogue, mutual understanding and long-lasting relationships between two cultures that are part of our everyday working environment. 

Italy and Japan: a friendship that continues.
