Konnichiwa!

JCC has had a wonderful start to 2022 this past January! We played host to the “Celebrating Woman Artists ~ Ceramic Expressions 5th Edition ~”, an exhibition series that was co-presented by Mulan Gallery. It was the first time this series featured an all-women line-up, and their artworks captivated many visitors to JCC. Film buffs also enjoyed an online screening of “Napping Princess” as part of JCC Cinema. It was a curious and fun experience to know that everyone was enjoying this movie together even though we were all at different locations.

February will be a month of exploration as JCC takes you on a trip to various islands in Japan! Explore the prefectures of Kagawa, Kochi, and Tokushima with an online FB tour and giveaway. There will also be an online tour further down south, to Yonaguni Island in Okinawa, where participants can learn more about island life!

Dive into the waters of Ise Shima and learn more about the lives of Ama divers who live in the region by participating in an online tour and a Q&A session. Visitors to JCC will also enjoy a display of hand-made jewellery, all adorned with Akoya Pearls from Ise Shima, and vote for their favourite pieces!

Make sure not to miss any of these exciting tour events by following us on our Facebook and Instagram! Follow the Embassy of Japan in Singapore on their Facebook page for the latest news and updates from Japan. JCC has many upcoming events in store, and we look forward to seeing you all very soon!
