The Mayor of Christchurch’s Japanese sister city, Kurashik: (Mr Shigeka Oyama) took time off from opening an exhibition of the city’s art, industry, and tourist attractions yesterday to model a sun-hat. He displayed the hat outside the Town Hall, where the exhibition will be open between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. every day this week, surrounded by members of the Japanese language class of St Margaret’s College. The girls are (from left) Kate Kennedy, Virginia Baird. Leslie Drayton, and Wendy Gray. Mr Oyama said the exhibition, as the first of a reciprocal series between Kurashik! and Christchurch, would create a greater mutual understand* ing between the sister cities. “The citizens of Kurashiki are looking forward with great interest to the Christchurch exhibition in Kurashik! this November,” he said.
The Mayor of Christchurch (Mr N. G. Pickering) said the cities had much in common and that Christchurch was proud of the association with Kurashiki.
