Since its establishment, the Vietnamese Association in Fukuoka, Japan has been actively promoting Vietnamese traditional culture to international friends. The rural market held in Fukuoka City on June 10 attracted a large number of overseas Vietnamese and local people.
For every Vietnamese living far away from home, the image of a rural market easily touches the emotions and evokes beautiful, peaceful and homeland-like memories. There, there is a close atmosphere with the familiar breath of the Vietnamese countryside.
There are grandmothers, mothers, neighbors selling goods, and there is bustling laughter. There are childhood dishes that have entered the subconscious of many generations of Vietnamese people. The rare rural markets in Japan not only bring a colorful cultural space but also become valuable spiritual food for the overseas Vietnamese community living and studying here.
