21 mai - Petrecere de ramas-bun dedicata lui Nobu

Ultima intalnire din luna mai a avut loc in absenta dlui. Katsutaro Kawai, coordonatorul principal al Cercului “Prietenii Japoniei”, care se afla in Japonia pentru o perioada. Intalnirea a fost o petrecere de ramas bun dedicata dlui. Nobumitsu Takamatsu, cunoscut de catre prieteni drept Nobu, care urmeza sa plece la Bucuresti pentru a-si urma cariera de diplomat la Ambasada Japoniei din Romania.

La petrecere au participat multi prieteni de-ai lui Nobu, la inceputul petrecerii fiecare avand sansa sa se prezinte publicului prezent si sa isi impartaseasca gandurile legate de plecarea lui Nobu la Bucuresti.

 Dupa acest moment, dra. Minodora Buta, coordonatoarea principala a petrecerii, a dat cuvantul dlui. Takamatsu care a impartasit cu publicul gandurile sale despre Cluj-Napoca, orasul in care a trait timp de aproape 2 ani, timp in care s-au format numeroase legaturi si prietenii. Impresiile placute despre Cluj au abundat, dar nu a ezitat sa atraga atentia asupra unor aspecte mai putin placute, de altfel nu foarte numeroase. In finalul discursului, participantii la petrecere au avut ocazia sa ii puna dlui. Nobumitsu intrebari despre viata sa din Cluj, despre viitoarea sa viata din Bucuresti sau despre orice alte lucruri interesante care i-ar fi putut interesa.

In continuare, petrecerea gravitand in jurul lui Nobu, organizatorii au pregatit o surpriza, un pergament mare cu mesajul:

„Nobu, de la Cluj la Bucuresti

poti sa tot calatoresti,

N-asteptam ca sa te duci, dar ...

de la Bucuresti ce ne-aduci?”.

Surprizele s-au tinut lant, iar organizatorii au pregatit un joc pe nume Cati pasi imi dai rege?, in care sarbatoritul avea rolul de rege, domnind peste imparatia ce i se intindea la picioare.

Contestantii voluntari au fost impartiti in 2 grupe, 3 fete si 3 baieti, pretendenti la tronul de pe care regele Nobumitsu domnea.

Fiecare participant a trebuit sa raspunda la intrebarile puse de catre rege, iar in functie de raspuns regele ii acorda un anumit numar de pasi, astfel incat sa se apropie sau sa se departeze de pozitia de succesor la tron.

In final castigator a iesit dl. Rares Dumitras si echipa baietilor, care mai aveau sa treaca o ultima proba pentru a dovedi ca sunt vrednici de a mosteni tronul.

Proba consta intr-un joc de mima pe care baietii l-au pierdut, astfel incat adevaratii mostenitori au devenit echipa fetelor.

Dupa incitantul joc plin de rasturnari de situatie, a urmat o alta surpriza pregatita de catre Mirela Dimitriu si Mihaela Roman, care au incantat publicul cu prezenta lor la petrecere in yukata, imbracaminte traditionala japoneza de vara. Fetele au pregatit pentru participanti briose delicioase, personalizate cu diferite imagini astfel incat fiecare participant la petrecere sa se poata simti unic si deosebit.

 

Pe langa minunatele briose, dna. Kayoko Kawai a pregatit pentru participanti sushi, in continuare participantii fiind liberi sa faca fotografii, sa depene amintiri sau sa se bucure de ambianta creeata de lumanari si muzica.

In final, petrecerea a fost dusa mai departe in parcul sportiv Iuliu Hateganu, unde a avut loc festivalul luminii, un eveniment cu adevarat deosebit, bun prilej de meditatie pentru fiecare din cei ce au luat parte la el, inspirand melancolie, dar si bucuria de a trai in acelasi timp.

Nobu’s farewell party

The last meeting in May took place in the absence of Mr. Katsutaro Kawai, the main coordinator of “Japan Friends Club”, who was in Japan for a period of time. The meeting was a farewell party for Mr. Nobumitsu Takamatsu, known by his friends as Nobu, who was going to leave for Bucharest in pursuit of his career as diplomat at Japan’s Embassy in Romania.

Many of Nobu’s friends were present at the party, at the beginning of which each participant had the chance to introduce themselves and share their thoughts about Nobu’s leaving for Bucharest. After this moment, Ms. Minodora Buta, the main coordinator of the party invited Mr. Takamatsu to share his thoughts about Cluj-Napoca, the city in which he had been living for almost 2 years, with the public. Many good impressions were given but Mr. Nobumitsu didn’t hesitate to draw attention about some aspects that he didn’t find so pleasant, but there weren’t so many. At the end of his discourse, the public was invited to ask questions regarding Mr. Nobumitsu’s life in Cluj-Napoca, his future life in Bucharest and other interesting things.

Afterwards, the party being about Nobu, the organizers prepared a surprise, a large scroll with the message: “Nobu, From Cluj to Bucharest you can travel all you want, we weren’t hoping for you to leave but from Bucharest what will you bring?”. One surprise after another, after the scroll, the organizers prepared a game called “How many steps, your Majesty?”, where Mr. Nobumitsu was the King, ruling over the kingdom at his feet. The voluntary contestants were split in 2 groups, 3 girls and 3 boys, aiming to inherit the Nobu’s kingdom. Each participant had to answer the King’s questions, receiving a number of steps closer to the kingdom according to the satisfactory level of the answer. The winner was Mr. Rares Dumitras and his team, who had to face the final quest to become the true heir of the King. The last trial was a game of mime which the guys failed to succeed, thus the true heirs of the King have proven to be the girls.

After the exciting game, full of overturns, another surprise followed, prepared by Ms. Mirela Dimitriu and Mihaela Roman, who delighted the public with their presence at the party wearing Japanese traditional summer clothes called yukata. The girls also prepared amazingly tasty waffles, personalized with pretty images so that each participant could feel unique. Also, Ms. Kayoko Kawai prepared sushi, so the participants could eat, take photographs, talk and have a wonderful time in the ambiance created by candles and music.

In the end, the party moved to the Iuliu Hateganu Park, where the Light Festival took place, a wonderful event encouraging each of the participants to spend some moments and meditate, inspiring melancholy and also reminding of the beauty of life.
