On Oct. 15th, YNU held ‘2015 Mizuki’ (Moon Viewing) Party for international researchers and students hosted by YNU President at Cafeteria I on YNU campus. Every year this event invites international researchers and students enrolled in YNU, aiming to promote exchanges and friendship between Japanese faculty members and students.
‘Mizuki’ party began in a lively manner with President Hasebe’s warm greetings followed by a toast of Executive Advisor to President Kazuyuki Hiratsuka.
The participants enjoyed conversing each other, and eating a variety of dishes while great performances were being presented on the stage.
A Chinese student played Chinese lute followed by four students from Myanmar danced to the country’s ethnic music. Then Japanese students from Folk Music Study Group Choir sang folk songs from Shiga Prefecture called ‘Minakuchi bayashi’, ‘Arama’ from Aomori Prefecture, and ‘Kiyari Daiko’ originated in Tokyo.
After the ethnic performances, Professor Satsumoto of College of Education and Human Sciences, and laboratory students presented a kimono show that drew a big round of applause.
