Project Godie, a multi-platform heritage programme celebrating the North East of England’s strong historic links to Japan through dance, music, film and literature, comes to Tokyo next month, with a launch event held on May 19 in the city’s Minami-Aoyama district.
The event takes place from 7.30pm at the Art & Space Cococara (202 Kudo building, 2-Chome-27-20, Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0062).
The Project is funded via the UK’s Heritage Lottery Fund, the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation and the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
