We are a passionate group with the aim of creating an environment where the average person, no matter the age, can enjoy a day immersed in Japanese Culture which would otherwise be impossible to engage with Otaku World is passionate team that envisions bringing all anime and Japanese enthusiast together under one roof. Our second step towards our goal was the introduction of our anime event, Otaku
Link. Otaku Link’s foundation is built upon the idea of giving anime fans a place to relax and enjoy everything anime has to offer. We are different to other conventions as we have constructed the event in a way that promotes social interaction. Otaku Link is better described as an anime club, where attendees are actively engaged in activities based around Anime thus creating long lasting friendships and an inclusive community. We are now taking the third step in our adventure by incorporating the vast array of other aspects of Japanese culture into one event, this brings us to Japan Fest. For the first time in Derby, and in collaboration with the Quad, a charity focused on contributing to contemporary culture, we will be holding an event in celebration of Japanese culture. This event is being meticulously crafted by passionate and motivated individuals to bring just a small taste of Japan to the UK. Activities for this cultural event include Japanese crafts, art, handmade food, drink, performances, workshops, film, and anime plus much more with the hope that we can one, cater to the Japanese community and two, create an environment where the average person, no matter the age, can enjoy a day immersed in a culture which otherwise would be near impossible to engage with. We would like to invite you to join us in this landmark day of cultural expression and education where we love, respect, and admire Japanese culture and in doing so gain a deeper understanding of our own.
