at Kyushu Japanese Restaurant (9-11 Grosvenor St Neutral Bay. The restaurant opens 12noon till late on Tuesdays to Fridays. 12noon to 3pm on Saturdays. Close on Sundays & Mondays. The exhibition can be viewed during the restaurant’s opening hours.)

Sumi-e is the Japanese art of black ink drawings on thin Japanese papers.
Inks can’t be erased from the paper once you apply it and the rhythm of the strokes are very important as well as the colours and the sizes of the strokes.

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.
(The photo below is Mr Kiya at the zoom origami workshop at Japanaroo plus opening.)
