End of year message from JICC
2021/12/8
Wishing all our subscribers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Although we were again faced with many restrictions this year, we would like to thank everyone for their patience and support. Throughout the year we were able to hold online events such as workshops, seminars and concerts, many of which you can watch back via our YouTube channel.
Our Tokyo 2020 Looking Back Series online continues as a restrospective of the postponed Olympic and Paralympic Games which were held this summer.
Although our library remained closed, we were able accommodate visitors for several exhibitions in our lobby space and look forward to welcoming many more in the coming year.
Lastly, we are now in the final month of our Japan-UK Season of Culture. Originally spanning from the Japan Rugby World Cup 2019 to the Tokyo 2020 Games, it was extended for an extra year following the pandemic. We are honoured that more than a thousand events across the UK were registered as part of the event and we hope that you were able to take part in the wide variety of activities that were on offer. We are preparing a series of video clips to be uploaded on the Embassy's YouTube channel to celebrate the successful conclusion of the season. You can watch the first in the series here. Thank you to all participants for making it a successful season!
