Introduction

Hyogo Prefectural Government Cultural Centre was established in 1992 by the Hyogo Prefectural Government to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sister State relationship between Western Australia and Hyogo Prefecture.

Our aims are to promote understanding and exchange between Western Australia and Hyogo in education, culture and business.

Major activities include workshops, demonstrations and seminars on language, life and culture, exhibitions of Japanese arts and crafts, and the promotion of educational, sporting, youth and cultural exchange.

Hyogo Cultural Centre has a well stocked library of books, periodicals and videos for people of all ages.

Hina Matsuri Display now on at the Centre!

Come into Hyogo Cultural Centre before March 3rd to see our magnificent 12-tiered display of dolls for the Hina Matsuri. This exhibition has been set up to celebrate Japan's Girls' Day Festival when parents and relatives pray for the health, happiness, and fortune for all of the young girls in the family. Why not bring your daughters in and take a photo in front of this gorgeous display?

We have been busy shopping and there is already a host of new DVDs that have been placed in the library this month. Members can now enjoy films, such as Hula Girls, Ponyo, Rashomon, and the beautiful, An Autumn Afternoon, among others. Don't forget to renew your membership to take advantage of these great new resources!
