Cancellation of Takamine's visit to Sheffield

[MIKA KO]

Dear All

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. 

I look forward to meeting you at the event on March 6. 

Best wishes, 

Mika Ko

Dear Kinejapan list members

 

As a part of the international workshop "Interrogating Okinawa: Memories, 

Meanings and Images", the National Institute of Japanese Studies and the 

University of Sheffield are hosting an exciting event of film screening and 

public lectures on March 6 in Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. The film to be 

shown is Takamine Go's Untamatgiru (1989) and Takamine will be present there 

for Q and A. We are also very lucky to have Aaron as a speaker for this 

event. After Aaron's talk, the screening and Q & A with the director, there 

will also be an annual distinguished lecture for the National Institutes of 

Japanese Studies by Sabine  Fruehstueck.

Below is the detailed program of the event. All events on March 6 are open 

to public and registration is NOT required. I hope that some of you who 

live in England could join us for this fascinating event!

 

For any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact either me (Mika Ko: 

M.ko at sheffield.ac.uk) or Kylie Wheeler (Administrative Officer, White Rose 

East Asia Centre, University of Sheffield : k.wheeler at sheffield.ac.uk).
