Poland & Japan

Poland and Japan — two distant, seemingly incompatible worlds. And yet life has a curious way of weaving threads of fate into unexpected knots — and sometimes, in one person’s life, those distant worlds overlap, coexist, perhaps even harmonize — creating something entirely new.

Such was the case, for example, with Józef Piłsudski’s brother, who once traveled to Hokkaido to study the culture of the Ainu people. In more recent times, we’ve witnessed a bold young Polish woman enter the world of Japanese shogi, not only competing but winning tournaments and earning titles no foreigner had ever claimed before.

And finally — perhaps a bit more down-to-earth, yet steeped in nostalgia for many — we’ll revisit the anime series once aired on Poland’s Polonia 1 channel in the 1990s. We’ll also explore how Poland is portrayed in anime, how the Japanese perceive our country, and how these two cultures continue to complement one another in surprising ways.
