St.Patrick’s Day☘️2021 will be celebrated in Kumamoto, from tomorrow… Sunday, March 7th to 16th, with a commemorative exhibition of posters, photos, pamphlets, and other Ireland-Kumamoto related panels on the first floor of the Kumamoto International Center downtown ✨💚 https://www.kumamoto-ireland.org/?p=3809&fbclid=IwAR1T9-evoZ3vUj0L4w5wiPFnSHXq8EUfPQ9a2HR12Lm9TvjvaBV8_xt5bak
Exhibition Title: 熊本アイルランド協会創立30周年記念展 Dates: 2021年3月7日(日)～16日(火) 無料です☘️It’s free!! Location: 熊本市国際交流会館1階 (熊本市中央区花畑町4-18 - Kumamoto International Center)
In fact, as the exhibition title states, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Kumamoto-Ireland Association・熊本アイルランド協会. So, while it’s unfortunate that there is no parade once again this year, it is a timely occasion to have this display be the focus as you can safely view it in your own time - ご自由にご覧ください!!
About the Kumamoto-Ireland Association・熊本アイルランド協会… While the annual parade, and after-party, are probably the most publicly well-known, tangible events, over the years there have been numerous seminars, outings, lectures, exhibits, performances and exchanges, including a trip to Greece - the birthplace of the famous writer of Greek-Irish descent, Lafcadio Hearn, who was born on the island of Levkás. It is partly thanks to Hearn’s time spent in Kumamoto in 1891, as well as his keen eye and powerful penmanship, that has afforded Kumamoto this unique opportunity to be a living link with Ireland during all these years. 今後とも応援お願い致します 🍀🙏☘️ - Ruth
