Happy New Year! 新年あけましておめでとうございます。

Last December, the exhibition "Art Education in Japan and Singapore" drew many families to JCC. The sound of the children’s excitement and the parents’ pride as they viewed the artworks on display certainly put us in a festive mood! The year certainly closed on a high note for us, and we hope that the line-up of events that we have in January will excite our Friends of JCC as well!

This January, we will be working with Mulan Gallery once again for the 5th edition of "Ceramic Expressions". Both Singaporean and Japanese ceramic artists will be participating in this exhibition, and their wide array of styles and creations are sure to wow you! Film lovers will also be glad to hear that we will be holding an online screening as part of JCC Cinema this month as well. Despite its title, "Napping Princess" is an exciting film that will spark the imaginations of children and adults alike!

Be sure not to miss any of the programmes we have in store for 2022 by following us on our Facebook page and our Instagram page! Do follow the Embassy of Japan on Facebook as well to keep up with the latest articles about Japan. Do look forward to more interesting posts from us about Japan and Japanese culture!

I would like to once again wish all our Friends of JCC a Happy New Year! We look forward to your support this year as we continue to bring you more exciting events in 2022.
