ZIPANG is an expression from the world's first
written language, Sumerian. It means 'breath of life'.
ZIPANG events breathe new life into the ancient
stories of Sumer, the land that became Babylon. That land, with
its two great rivers — the Tigris and Euphrates — was named
Mesopotamia by the ancient Greeks. Today it is the Republic of
Iraq.
At ZIPANG events, the stories of ancient Iraq
are retold in live performance by ZIPANG Mesopotamian
storytellers.
ZIPANG events are organised by The Enheduanna
Society, an educational charity (registration number 1097515)
devoted to popularising the literature of ancient Iraq through
the art of oral storytelling.
