Exploring Japan Through Karuta: A Unique Experience at Global Bridge Academy

Global Bridge Academy is always looking for unique ways to enrich its students' learning experiences. Now, they're introducing a fascinating program: exploring Japanese culture through the traditional game of Karuta. More than just a fun card game, Karuta offers a deep dive into the rich literature, history, and profound values of Japanese culture. With every card drawn, students not only sharpen their speed and memory but also absorb the classical poetry of Hyakunin Isshu, grasp Japanese aesthetic concepts like Mono no Aware, and learn about the discipline and etiquette woven into every round of play. This is a rare opportunity to directly experience the pulse of Japanese culture, open up new perspectives, and cultivate a deep appreciation for its timeless heritage.
