On 2 September 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, the Declaration of Independence marked a new chapter in Vietnam's history, as the nation reclaimed the right to determine its own future. More than eight decades later, young Vietnamese are growing up in peacetime in an interconnected world. The spirit of self-determination continues in a different form: through knowledge, technology, creativity, and global connections, and building the capabilities to shape Vietnam's future.
Every year in early September, Toyama City hosts the Owara Kaze no Bon, a traditional festival with a history spanning more than 300 years, best known for its slow and graceful dances. Combining the sounds of shamisen, kokyū and taiko drums with elegant movements, the festival continues to preserve this centuries-old dance tradition and attract visitors from around the world.
