Yurie Miura Piano Recital


On September 13, as part of the ongoing programme of commemorative events for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Ireland, a piano recital by Ms. Yurie Miura, a Japanese pianist currently living in London, was held at the concert hall of Griffith College in Dublin (presented by Danfay Ltd. and Yamaha Pianos in association with the Embassy of Japan). Ms. Miura's romantic performance of technical perfection of such works by Chopin and Scriabin enchanted the full-house audience of more than 200 people.

Opening of the Exhibition "Art from the Rucksack 3"


On 6 September, Ambassador Hayashi opened the exhibition "Art from the Rucksack 3" at the Limerick City Gallery of Art. This "exchange exhibition", most fitting for this year's 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Ireland, is an innovative project involving six artists from Japan and Ireland respectively travelling to each other's country with their works in a rucksack, and then finishing and exhibiting them by sourcing necessary materials locally within a week. Following on from the exhibition by Irish artists held in Kobe in July, this exhibition by Japanese artists at the Limerick City Gallery of Art will continue from 7 September to 21 October, and we hope that many people will visit the Gallery.
