Big thanks to Consul-General Kiya

I received the 2022 Japanese Foreign Minister’s Award.

I am one of 197 individuals to receive the award from all over the world and only one from Sydney.

It is for my long-time contribution to the promotion of origami art and Japan-Australia cultural exchange. I was very thrilled to be acknowledged and appreciated by the Japanese Government.
