Japanese Lessons
For foreign domestic workers & caretakers
Sep 2018
WASABI Creation was requested by a nursing training school to conduct Japanese lessons to its students comprising of foreign domestic workers and caretakers. The students are attending the school to step up their skills in nursing care for the elderly. As Japan is seriously facing the hit of aging population, and lack of manpower in providing care to the elderly, they have opened up working opportunities in Japan to foreign caretakers.
In view of this, these foreign domestic workers are trying out learning Japanese to equip themselves with the language skill that will enable them to work in Japan in the future.

Seminar to Ryokoku University: How Singapore's policies have shaped a multiracial and international society.
2 Sep 2018
A group of 40 students from Ryokoku University, Japan visited WASABI Creation as part of their educational tour in Vietnam and Singapore. WASABI Creation founder, Tong conducted a seminar on Singapore policies that have shaped the country's multiracialism, and built an international society.
More and more Japanese companies realise the need to venture overseas market as its domestic market continue to string due to aging population and depopulation, however there is a lack of talent within Japan who has the experience, skills, and know-how to bring business across boarders. We hope the seminar will be able to share with the students some ideas and tips on how to be a global talent.

About Diane Kichijitsu
イギリス、リバプール出身のバイリンガル落語家。
ロンドンでグラフィックデザイナーとしと働いていたが、世界中を旅してみたいと一念発起、バックパッカーの旅に出る。1990年、旅の途中で友達に勧められ来日、たちまち華道・茶道・着物などの日本文化に魅了される。1996年、英語落語の先駆者、故桂枝雀氏の落語会で「お茶子」*をする機会を得て落語との運命の出会いを果たす。その巧みな話芸とイマジネーションの世界に感銘を受け落語を学び始め、1998年、自ら初舞台を踏む。以来、古典から創作まで様々な工夫をこらして演じ、「わかりやすい落語」と幅広い年代に愛されている。今までに50ヵ国以上を旅した経験談や、日本に来たときの驚き、文化の違いなどユーモアあふれるトークを交えての講演会も好評。(落語・講演会共に英語・日本語どちらでもOK)
また、これまでの日本と海外の文化の懸け橋となる国際的な活動が高く評価され、2013年6月に公益財団法人世界平和研究所において第９回中曽根康弘賞 奨励賞を受賞。
