The animated film screened in front of an audience of approximately 80 people was “Spirited Away”of Hayao MIYAZAKI produced by Studio Ghibli in 2001. This masterpiece is loved by people of all ages all over the world, and it attracted a large audience in Kigali on this day as well.
The cocktail reception followed after the screening provided an opportunity for the audience to share their impressions on the movie and ask questions about Japan, gathering around canapes and drinks from Japan and France, such as yakitori, cheese, sake, and wine.
We have received the following comments from them: "I was able to learn about the culture and mentality of Japan through watching the film", "I would like to visit Japan in person", "I hope to participate in this kind of event in the future again so that I can find out more about Japanese culture", etc.
In addition, "Niponica", a magazin that introduces modern Japan, distributed at the event was well-received by many guests. Japanese culture was enjoyed from multiple perspectives; movie, food and drink, and publication.
