Dear All<br>
<br>
I am very sorry to inform you that due to unexpected circumstances, Takamine's visit to Sheffield had to be cancelled. However, apart from the Q and A with the director, the remaining program including Aaron's talk will be as announced. <br>
<br>
I look forward to meeting you at the event on March 6. <br>
<br>
Best wishes, <br>
<br>
Mika Ko<br>

<br>
As a part of the international workshop "Interrogating Okinawa: Memories, <br>
<br>
Meanings and Images", the National Institute of Japanese Studies and the <br>
<br>
University of Sheffield are hosting an exciting event of film screening and <br>
<br>
public lectures on March 6 in Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. The film to be <br>
<br>
shown is Takamine Go's Untamatgiru (1989) and Takamine will be present there <br>
<br>
for Q and A. We are also very lucky to have Aaron as a speaker for this <br>
<br>
event. After Aaron's talk, the screening and Q & A with the director, there <br>
<br>
will also be an annual distinguished lecture for the National Institutes of <br>
<br>
Japanese Studies by Sabine Fruehstueck.<br>
<br>
Below is the detailed program of the event. All events on March 6 are open <br>
<br>
to public and registration is NOT required. I hope that some of you who <br>
<br>
live in England could join us for this fascinating event!<br>
