Inartis S.r.l.
Makes available its editorial, design
and creative staff in order to promote
Higan.
The Linguistic
and Cultural Institute Il Mulino
An active education centre in Padova
since 2003, it offers group and private
language classes, and a translation and
interpreting service. Many are the
languages available, but a distinctive
feature is the interest in Asian
languages, their cultures, histories and
civilisations.
Il Mulino collaborates with Ochacaffe’,
an Italy-Japan friendship association
working with the purpose of introducing
Italians to Japanese culture, and
helping Japanese people encounter and
understand Italian culture through
language courses, movies, cultural
events and parties.
LAILAC
Association
Founded in 1999 by Hiromi Sasaki with
the help of a group of Italian and
Japanese friends, Lailac is a cultural
association based in Firenze, which
offers courses and conferences to teach
about Japanese arts and culture to its
over 400 members.
The association takes part in the
organisation of cultural events around
Italy (Milano, Brescia, Abano, Mantova,
Roma, Lecce, Palermo, Castrocaro and in
Tuscany); every year LAILAC organizes
the Japanese Festival in Firenze, an
important event for the lovers of the
land of the Rising Sun.
Tara Cittamani
Buddhist Centre
The association TARA CITTAMANI was
founded by the Venerable Lama Zopa
Rinpoche and has been in Padova since
1993. Following its statute, the Centre
has the purpose of promoting the
research activities and the practice of
Buddhist philosophy and psychology
according to the Mahayana tradition and
their integration into the psychological,
philosophical and medical knowledge in
the Western culture.
The association is the result of the
interest some people in Padova had in
the Tibetan Lama’s teachings, when the
Lamas were invited to the Western world
to help spread the knowledge of the
Buddha Dharma.
The association is non confessional and
not for profit, it is not a sect nor
does it have political goals; it is
associated to the Italian Buddhist Union
(U.B.I.) and to the “Foundation for the
Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition”
(FPMT), officially recognized by the
Italian Government and includes many
centres around the world.
In these recent years the Association
has arranged meetings between Tibetan
Lamas and Western scholars, planned
seminars, exhibitions, study and
practice groups, public conferences,
weekly meditation courses and meditation
retreats to help the integration of the
teachings in daily life.
Nippon Bonsai
Sakka Kyookai Europe
Founded on demand of the Japanese mother
house, it’s an association that
assembles the best known Masters of the
bonsai art, in order to work in Europe
with the same purposes: reaffirm the
bonsai artistic, spiritual and cultural
value, its historical and philosophical
roots. The association means to
establish itself as a thought group
rather than a classical amateur
association.
Euganean Bonsai
Association
It groups the Bonsai lovers of Padua and
surroundings. It’s a non-profit cultural
association that fulfils different
activities such as various level
seminars with national and international
Masters, exhibitions and shows, tours to
bonsai gardens and to charming
landscapes.
Ayurvedic Point
It was created with the purpose of
offering a high quality reference point
for the circulation and practice of the
Ayurveda, the Indian antique medical
science, in Italy.
The Ayurvedic Point’s activities are
articulated in the Ayurvedic Medicine
School and in the Centre for Ayurvedic
Medicine. The Ayurvedic Medicine School,
from its headquarters in Milan, offers a
didactic programme of courses and
seminars for the vocational training.
The school has, among its teachers,
Italian and foreign Ayurveda experts and
organizes in depth courses in India at
the SNA Oushadashala Ayurvedic Nursing
Home, Trisshur, in Kerala.
At the Ayurvedic Medicine School in
Milan it is possible to undergo, with
careful medical control, all kinds of
treatments in the Ayurvedic medicine.
Ikiya
Ikiya means, literally, “shop of the
beauty”, taking the Chinese character
Iki, a Japanese aesthetical concept
difficult to translate indicating not a
quality but a lifestyle dedicated to
refinement and seduction.
Ikiya has been in Treviso since 2005, a
project by Elisabetta Grosso, who wished
to introduce Japanese culture to the
Italian public through crafts, antique
and design products.
Through the observation of the kimonos’
delicate silk, the chasteness of the
ceramics, and the precision of the
varnishes, it is possible to get in
touch with the wonderful Japanese
culture.
Each hand crafted art has in itself
centuries of history and tradition,
surviving in spite of the
industrialization. Ikiya wishes to
explain this tradition and history,
opening the world of Japanese culture to
its visitors.
Shiatsu Italian
Federation
Founded in 1990 by some performers and
teachers who first started to work in
Italy, it’s a private non-profit
association that represents this craft
and those who perform it. FIS is neither
a Shiatsu School nor represents the
promotion or interests of other schools,
it’s open to all the performers with any
type of training who want to start the
professional study of Shiatsu.
