July 25, 2026, Saturday — Manga and anime fans, and anyone curious about Japanese culture, get a full-throttle themed program day at the Museum of Ethnography (Néprajzi Múzeum). One ticket opens the door to both the classic and the cutting edge of Japan’s visual world, all under one roof.
Hands-on Tradition
Dive into ukiyo-e woodblock printing, try your hand at calligraphy, and slip into a yukata for a quick, photo-ready fitting. Curators lead special tours that connect centuries-old crafts with the aesthetics powering today’s manga panels and anime frames.
Pop Culture, Live
Expect bite-sized talks on pop culture trends, from character design to fandom waves, plus a kamishibai paper theater performance that shows how analog storytelling still resonates. Video games are set up for play, bridging retro charm and modern speed.
Beat of Japan
A thundering Japanese drum concert caps the program, syncing heartbeats with taiko rhythms and sealing a day that moves from ink and wood to pixels and percussion.
