15. Apr 2021.
Japanese concert pianist Ms. Aisa Ijiri held a concert at the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Tokyo and on that occasion, in cooperation with the Association for the Promotion of Music Cooperation between Serbia and Japan, presented a gift to the Embassy.
Charge d' Affaires a.i. of the Serbian Embassy in Japan, Ms. Ivana Golubovic-Duboka, thanked the Japanese pianist for the decision to donate the artwork of her grandmother Sumiko Takei "Winter Song" to the Embassy, a calligraphy on washi golden paper, which also served as an inspiration for the composition "Sakura" which Ms. Aisa Ijiri premiered in Belgrade at the Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment in 2014.
Ms. Ijiri expressed hope that her connection with Serbia, where she was performing regularly since 2013 and which she considered her second country, would continue to strengthen in this way.
