We bid farewell to Ambassador Nagamine who joined us at the Embassy of Japan in the UK at the end of November 2019. Although it has been a relatively short stay in the UK, Ambassador Nagamine has hosted and participated in many events, including the launch of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project, the flagship event of the Japan-UK Season of Culture.
Most recently, Ambassador visited Wales this month where, as well as participating in a Cherry Tree planting ceremony, he also met with First Minister Mark Drakeford.
We wish Ambassador Nagamine success upon his return to Japan.

End of Year message from JICC
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our subscribers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult year of restrictions. We were happy to welcome many of you to our online seminars and in-house exhibition. If you missed them at the time, please check the Embassy of Japan in the UK YouTube channel for recordings and highlights, and for a short while longer you can see details of our last exhibition "The Techniques Shaping Japanese Textiles" on the dedicated website here.
Lastly, we have a special edition quiz for you this month on Christmas in Japan. Test your knowledge and learn about some of the unique Christmas traditions that have developed at this festive time in Japan!
