About the Organizer
The crew organizing Animatsuri is a group of volunteers passionate about Japanese culture, active since 2006. In 2009, this group gathered to form the association currently known as Animatsuri Association! We have been organizing larger and smaller events with Japanese culture and pop culture themes for 18 years. We always put a tremendous amount of time, energy and heart into the making of each one of them – we create events in such a way that we ourselves would want to participate in them. We are one of the largest and longest-running teams of this kind in Poland. All of our conventions are organized on the principle of for fans by fans – our team does not make any money on its work, and all the revenue from the event goes to its development. Our activities have been acknowledged by many institutions, such as the Japanese Embassy in Poland and the Polish Kendo Association. We kindly invite you to visit us at one of our events and experience the atmosphere of Animatsuri for yourself!
