Residence of Japanese Consul General in Paraguay !

by Kazu

Consul General of Japan to Paraguay Mr. Naohiro ISHIDA kindly invited the Hokkaido Delegation to his residence after the ceremony to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the immigrants from Hokkaido to Paraguay. I think it is unnusual to invite such large a delegation to the residence of the Consul General nor Ambassador.

 As the residence had a very beautiful garden behind the building, so all the delegation members could sit back and relax for a while. We really appreciate Ambassador ISHIODA for his consideration and cooperation.

At the entrance of the residence, a beautifu Japanese traditional clothes for females called "Kimono" was displayed in front of a Japanese traditional gold screen. It was a kind of art we Japanese can be proud of. It may be a little bit tough for females to wear this kind of decorative kimono, dragging the bottom of it but the beauty may give the energy to the female who wear it.
