Shigeru Ishiba, Prime Minister of Japan, visited the Czech National Pavilion with his wife Yoshiko Ishiba in April 13, 2025. The Prime Minister left his signature and a drawing of Oba Q on one of the pavilion’s walls.
Approximately half of all pavilions remained closed on the day of the official opening due to demanding administrative, organizational and approval processes. The Czech pavilion was opened to the public for half a day on Sunday. It was a test run, during which almost 10,000 people passed through the building.
The company Granat Turnov was represented on the opening day by our official business partners Rie and Fumitoshi Shimura.
