(#5) JOI 20th Anniversary Donation Project: The Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the JOI Program, the Japan Foundation donated the Japanese cultural items to the former JOI host sites not only to support their Japan-related outreach activities and programs, but also to re-connect for additional collaborations in the future. The former JOI host sites and current JOI coordinators shared the fun videos using the Japanese cultural items.

Ganbatte Mini Con
【Comment from JOI Coordinator Mr. Yamamoto】
Ganbatte mini con is an event for those who love anime and cosplay. There are local venders selling their fun art and food venders to promote their stores. In the event, I helped them to offer authentic Japanese culture by interacting with the guests.
