Speaking at the event on Sunday, Vietnam’s Consul General in Osaka Nguyen Truong Son described the re-enactment as a vivid testament to the enduring vitality of Vietnamese culture and the strong sense of unity among overseas Vietnamese communities.
He said it was an opportunity for Vietnamese people in Japan to reconnect with their roots, honor the contributions of the Hung Kings, the legendary founders of the Vietnamese nation, and preserve their cultural identity.
The ceremonial re-enactment featured traditional offerings, incense rituals, and solemn rites. The practice of worshipping the Hung Kings in Phu Tho province has been recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of the world.
The festival included folk performances, traditional music and dance, and a variety of Vietnamese culinary specialties.
