 Panel Exhibition. |
On 2 August, H.E. Ambassador Jun Yamazaki and Rikuzentakata City Mayor, Mr. Futoshi Toba, hosted an exclusive reception, “Rikuzentakata: Reflecting on 11 Years of Recovery” at Japan Creative Centre (JCC).
Participants celebrated the special and close relationship between Rikuzentakata and Singapore. The friendship was catalyzed by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, which led to the people of Singapore extending generous support to the Rikuzentakata community. At the reception, guests viewed the panel exhibition highlighting the city’s recovery and key milestones. They also enjoyed Rikuzentakata’s premium delicacies including "Bering Sea Cockle (Ishikagegai石陰貝)," "Kesen Yubeshi気仙ゆべし (Wagashi)" and local sake (Suisen酔仙). |
