Farewell Mr Kiya

Sayonara Mr Kiya

FarewellMrKiya
Mr Masahiko Kiya has been an amazing Consul-General of Japan, Sydney.
He led, pushed and encouraged us to the success of Japanaroo 2022!
Mr Yamagami (Canberra’s Embassy of Japan) called him, “Mr Japanaroo”
Some of the Japanaroo staff and Japan Expo volunteers had Mr Kiya’s farewell party at James Squire’s Brewhouse in Circular Quey.
We can see the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House from there.
It has been a wonderful experience for involving in the Japanaroo events for 2 years.
We will miss you and wish you great success in the next city.

Tea room & origami installation

Art installation at the beautiful Sydney Town Hall.
It was a part of Japanaroo+ Festive Season Concert installation.

It was a big sweaty day and fight against a clock, I was at the Town Hall from 8 am till 11 pm at night!
However, I really enjoyed being a part of the team and the venue was amazing.  The concert with many talents was amazing.

Although I enjoyed the online workshops, I’m really looking forward to having face-to-face workshops.

My origami workshop video from the Japanaroo Opening Night is now available to everyone!
The simple bird and Ninja star are traditional origami but I created the variations with my own ideas.
Eastern Spinebill is the bird on the Australian $5 note.
There are more than 180 species of Honey Eaters in the world and 80 of them live in Australia. Eastern Spinebill is one of them.
Do you know the bird on the $5 note flaps its wings if you tilt the note back and forth?
