What is 24 SETSU?

24 SETSU is a cultural journey through the twenty-four seasons of the Japanese calendar.

Across six fields of art, craft, architecture, fermentation, ritual and festival, it brings Japan and Luxembourg into dialogue — creating moments to gather, make, taste, observe and reconnect with the living world.
