A high level Cultural Event which will actually “plunge” the city of Abano Terme in a month of culture and Oriental tradition, a chance to both meet and compare itself to our Western culture.
 

A series of events, entertainments, performances, expository and informative areas open to the public, a chance either to approach the various crafts and learn more about them or simply “look into something new”.
 

Conferences for the professionals in the field, and at the same time an event meant for all those people (inhabitants and tourists) attracted by Oriental culture and art.
 

Guests renowned worldwide in their craft who, by intervening, enhance the event and back it up, providing the necessary image in order to achieve the proper media appeal.
 
 
  “Higan” is an event which aims at the creation of an occasion spurring the meeting of the many entities that, with great enthusiasm, work in order to study and spread the different Oriental specialities and arts. It also means to provide all those people who still don’t know them an opportunity to approach them.

The choice of the term “Higan” was initially due to the time of the year in which the event takes place: in Japanese it means “Spring equinox”. But ideograms, as it always happens in the writing of this language, can be subjected to interpretation and have different meanings according to the context in which they’re used. Therefore “Higan”, translated as “the other shore of the river” represents another world which we would like to learn more about and which perfectly identifies the event’s cultural purpose.

In this context people with extraordinary experiences work who, according to the Oriental tradition, try to improve themselves through a continuous investigation in their chosen craft.

The flow of knowledge is one of the event’s main goals, aiming to become a yearly meeting with oriental Arts and Crafts, which people cannot miss: it isn’t an exotic folkloristic festival, but rather a means of development rich in contents, pursued with a cooperative spirit.
