Japanese Traditional Dance & Music Performance/ Japanese Food & sake presentation

The Embassy of Japan in cooperation with Yangon Japanese Association
presented the performance of Japanese traditional Dance & Music at
Park Royal Hotel, Yangon on October 22, 2011.

This event was organized to express appreciation for the generous
support offered to Japan after the Great East Japan Earthquake form
the people of Myanmar and to show Japan’s will and strength towards
the reconstruction from the aftermath of the earthquake.

At this event, professional artists of International Dance Club and
Minyo Umewaka-kai performed various Japanese traditional dances and
folk music including pieces originating from eastern Japan. Beautiful
IKEBANA (Japanese traditional flower arrangement) by U George San Tun
and photographs by JENESYS Alumni Network with their wishes, prayers
and support to Japan were also exhibited. The audience also enjoyed
watching KAMISHIBAI (Japanese picture storytelling) regarding disaster
prevention and tasted Japanese foods and sake after the performance.
In total 460 people came and there was much heated atmosphere.

The success of this event hopefully gives momentum to strengthen not
only the mutual friendship between Japan and Myanmar but also Japan’s
reconstruction from the aftermath of the earthquake.
