Children & Families

In January, February, and March 2026 we hosted a series of lectures that explored the global evolution of the samurai with Professor Oleg Benesch, human rights challenges with Dr Sanae Fujita, and a reconsideration of the samurai by Dr Rosina Buckland, lead curator of the British Museum’s landmark exhibition.

On 21 March, join The Japan Society and Manchester Central Library in manga drawing workshops led by artist Inko, and learn how to draw Japanese yokai in the manga art style!

This March, inspire and engage pupils in learning all about Japan with our featured resources on celebrations, history, sports, and more!
