Director's Message

Konnichiwa!

It has only been one month since taking up the position of Director of Japan Creative Centre, but it has proved to be one of the most eventful months!

I have been fortunate to have been given many opportunities to participate in an array of events, not just in JCC itself but also in other venues - and even in our neighbouring Johor Bahru, Malaysia!

I also had the pleasure of addressing the guests present during the Opening of PIECE OF PEACE World Heritage Exhibit Built with LEGO® Brick Singapore 2017 Satellite Exhibition, including some of our valued Friends of JCC. It was a delight to have made my first speech as JCC's director for an exhibition which truly expresses what JCC stands for, ‘integration of tradition and innovation’.

Our monthly JCC cinema screening kickstarts our August events, featuring the box office hit Your Name. (君の名は。) at the Festive Arts Theatre at 8:30pm, in conjunction with the Grand Opening of Our Tampines Hub (OTH). So for those who haven’t registered, do come down to OTH by 7:30pm to get the walk-in tickets! But that is not all! JCC will also be operating a calligraphy booth to share more about the calligraphy tools and the prefectures dedicated to producing them. I will also be there writing calligraphy. Moreover, there will be special performances including dancing and singing.

That Sunday will surely be a memorable one for me, and I'm truly excited to join in on the celebration with everyone on that day! So please join me and my JCC team there!

See you soon!
