The i-house’s annual summer festival “The Nigiwai” provides a great opportunity for all to enjoy a typical Japanese summer event with family and friends at the International House, Osaka.

During this year’s summer festival, the Consulate General of Brazil in Nagoya will be holding their “One Day Consulate General Service” at the International House, Osaka. Consulate officers will be assisting Brazilian residents with procedures related to birth registration, marriage registration, and more. To commemorate this occasion, a Brazilian Samba Dance will take place. In addition, a traditional Chinese Lion Dance performance will be carried out to celebrate the opening of the Expo 2010 Shanghai China.

We hope you will enjoy the festival foods, activities, and various stage performances.
We look forward to seeing you at “The Nigiwai" 2010 !
