The Japanese seasons influence every aspect of daily life. From the food we eat and the objects we make to the spaces we inhabit and the rituals we share.
24 SETSU explores this richness through six interconnected cultural fields. Together, they form the foundation of our annual programme and invite diverse audiences to experience Japan through contemporary perspectives.

( WHAT IS 24 SETSU )
A cultural platform connecting Luxembourg and Japan through the seasons
Inspired by the Japanese calendar of twenty-four seasonal transitions.
Rather than presenting culture as something to observe, we invite people to experience it. Through exhibitions, craft, architecture, food, rituals, performances and community gatherings, each season becomes an opportunity to connect—with nature, with others, and with ourselves.
Initiated in Luxembourg by Elsewhere Gallery and Kimonococoro, and operated by Echoes of Japan a.s.b.l., 24 SETSU is a cultural platform that creates a contemporary dialogue between Japan and Europe through twenty-four seasons of connection—celebrating tradition while inspiring new forms of cultural exchange.
Twenty-four seasons.
Countless connections.
