Importer of traditional Japanese incense
Discover the incense of the Awaji Koh-Shi cooperative, Baieido in Osaka, and Shoyeido in Kyoto. These natural incenses feature fragrances such as cherry blossom, green tea, sandalwood, agarwood, flowers, blueberry, musk… You’ll also find “Nioi-bukuro” scented sachets and incense holders.
Discover the art of kumihimo, a Japanese thread-weaving technique, and create your own colorful bracelet, express your imagination with the art of ink drawing, or discover the workshop for decorating neko (cat) or kitsune (fox) masks. Personalize your mask with vibrant colors inspired by Japanese folklore, and leave with a unique work of art made by your own hands!
Tables with board games on trial, including the Reflets d’Acide board game, with JBX himself.
The Calme & Silence room returns this year to offer you a sensory bubble of tranquility. Run by a group of volunteers concerned with the well-being of people who feel overwhelmed by sensations (noise, smell, light…) but who still want to enjoy the convention, whether from a neurodiverse background or not, the Calme & Silence room is there for you!
For 5 minutes or 2 hours, to draw or sleep… as long as you respect the quiet, you’re all welcome!
Just a few rules to follow:
Although silence is golden in this room, there may be a few whispers between visitors and the volunteers present. However, this is not the place to hold discussions with your friends.
We ask you not to eat in this room, to avoid noises that may cause discomfort to people with sensitive hearing.
If you have headphones, you can of course listen to music, as long as it is not audible in the room.
What’s at the entrance, on the Esplanade Place at Japan Impact? Great entertainment! A group of artists from ArtePoly will be painting a large fresco on the theme of our convention this year: games and toys!

Meet little K
“Le Musée des contes” invites convention visitors to the Hall-Kamishibaï for an introduction to the art of kamishibaï. Introduced almost a century ago in Japan, this medium of communication was carried by storytellers on the luggage rack of their bicycles. Thousands of children flocked to the street corners of Japan’s cities to listen to stories told in pictures. The Vevey-based Musée des contes et récits invites you to discover a selection of tales, legends and other invented stories from Japan and become a reader in your own right, transporting listeners for the duration of a story from the depths of the ocean, to the edge of a forest or the summit of Mount Fuji, landscapes populated by human and non-human beings.
For the general public
Diane Georges & Co invites you to discover Hanafuda, a traditional Japanese card game, with two variants: Hana-Awase for beginners and Koi-Koi for a strategic challenge, perfect for those curious about Japanese culture.
