I recently returned to my hometown, Rome💛❤️, where I was honored to be invited by the Embassy to introduce Nipponina during the reception commemorating His Majesty the Emperor’s Birthday. I had the privilege of meeting the new Ambassador, Her Excellency Ono-san, and her amazing team, all of whom participated in this creative journey.
It was so exciting to see all the friends from the Expo Osaka adventure again in Rome, including fellow representatives from the pavilions of Italy 🇮🇹
