The 3rd Eikei Festival and Pre-Festival Event Held!
On Saturday, November 8th, we held our first-ever limited-attendance pre-festival event. It was a special occasion where students, alumni, and faculty gathered to deepen connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, Sunday the 9th, we held the 3rd Eikei Festival. We were delighted to welcome many attendees, including our students, alumni, parents, and members of the local community. Despite the unfortunate rainy weather, the festival concluded successfully. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported the Eikei Festival and to all who attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s Eikei Festival was held under the theme \u201cPeace\/Piece,\u201d consciously connecting to the theme \u201cPiece\u201d of the Multicultural Festival held at Hiroshima Gate Park in June. Here is a glimpse of the day’s exhibitions and workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
