MAIZURU, November 9. /Dunyo IA/.  Within the framework of the “21^st Maizuru Festa” held in the Japanese city of Maizuru, a presentation of the national culture, traditions and craftsmanship of Uzbekistan took place, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

Event was attended by compatriots who presented Uzbek national costumes and familiarized the guests with the cultural heritage, traditions and unique identity of the Uzbek people.

A special thematic exhibition was organized within the festival, allowing Japanese visitors to explore national values, traditions, and specimens of Uzbek applied arts.

Opportunity to try on national costumes, take commemorative photographs, and participate in traditional craft workshops generated significant interest. In particular, the guests crafted a traditional skullcap - the doppi - by themselves, learning about its manufacturing features, traditional ornaments and decorative elements.
