Ikigai Evening
Ikigai Now Book launch of Ikigai: Meaning as a Way Forward by Violeta Kyoseva, with special participation by composer Shingo Masuda
Ikigai Evening is an intimate encounter between Bulgarian and Japanese culture — the launch of Ikigai: Meaning as a Way Forward by Violeta Kyoseva, accompanied by a musical performance by Shingo Masuda, one of the most intriguing Japanese performers of traditional string instruments.
With the gracious hospitality of the Japanese Culture Center Kokoro, where Japanese culture is felt as a presence, not a backdrop.
The evening will bring together:
The personal story behind Ikigai: Meaning as a Way Forward, with the opportunity to learn about the philosophy of ikigai
A live performance by Shingo Masuda — a Japanese artist creating contemporary music inspired by Japanese sensibility and minimalism
A space for silence, clarity, and inner movement, rarely found in everyday life
An opportunity to meet the author in person, talk, and have your book signed
This is more than just a book launch. This is an evening for people who feel that life is whispering of change — quiet, but real. An evening for those who are ready to return to themselves, listen to their inner voice, and make room for a new beginning. A limited-seating event created for people seeking direction, meaning, and the courage to move forward.
