Hiroshima prefecture, a green and bountiful land warmed by the Seto Inland Sea.
\nThe food capital that has brought us delicious citrus fruits, oysters, okonomiyaki and momiji manju!
\nAnd of course, you aren’t a true Hiroshiman unless you’re crazy for the local baseball team
\nthe Hiroshima Toyo Carp!<\/p>\n

Attention on Hiroshima is increasing every year and the area welcomes tourists from around
\nthe world to its World Heritage sites like the Atomic Bomb Dome and Itsukushima Shrine (Miyajima).<\/p>\n

Now at this event, we will introduce the beauty and charm of Hiroshima to you!
\nAs a guest we have invited the representative director of the Regional Branding Institute Co.,Ltd.
\nHiroshi Yoshida to give a talk about Hiroshima’s efforts to promote sightseeing and
\ninbound tourism business.
\nWe will also have presentations from Waseda students from Hiroshima and local people introducing
\nthe hidden spots you have to see in Hiroshima prefecture and a mini Hiroshima dialect lesson too!<\/p>\n

During the cafe mixing time, we will be screening the trailers of the multiple award winning anime
\nfilm “In This Corner of the World” and its sequel “In (Several More) Corners of This World” which is
\ndue to be released on December 20th. These films paint a picture of everyday life in the city of
\nKure in Hiroshima prefecture during the Second World War. There will also be a corner showing video of
\nthe local dance “Hiroshima Kagura” which is recognised as a piece of national intangible cultural
\nheritage, and as well as that there will also be a display of the world famous traditional
\n“Kumano Brushes”; loved and used for makeup by celebrities worldwide and historically famous for their
\ntraditionally crafted calligraphy brushes. You even be able to try them out in a mini calligraphy experience booth.<\/p>\n

And that’s not all! There will also be a chance to try out Hiroshima’s the most popular souvenir snacks; “Momiji Manju” and “Seto Komachi”.<\/p>\n
