Thank you to the Embassy of Japan in Côte d’Ivoire for this amazing opportunity. I met many wonderful people and shared art and culture through Sumi-e and live painting.
On my first day in Abidjan, I had the chance to experience the vibrant culture of Ivory Coast, including traditional music. It was a great start to my trip.
On March 4th, I traveled to Bouaké, where I gave a lecture, did a live painting, and held Sumi-e workshops at Alassane Ouattara University. The students introduced themselves and sang in Japanese, making it a fun and engaging day.
On my last day, I visited Groupe Scolaire Espérance Bouaké, where Japanese is taught. I led another Sumi-e workshop and a Sumi-e demonstration.
It was a great experience. Thank you to everyone who made it possible. See you again
