Big in Japan

Moshi! Moshi! When you think of Japan, what images come to your mind? Kimono? Sushi? Sakura? Mount Fuji? Ikebana? Ultraman? Or the geisha girls from Memoirs of a Geisha? For the next four days starting tomorrow, it will all be Big in Japan at UBD.

Japanese Pop Culture will be the theme for this year’s Japan Language & Culture Week, jointly organised by UBD and the Embassy of Japan in Brunei Darussalam.
