The Crane, 25 November 2023

Welcome from James Steward

As the weather across Hiroshima cools reminding us that winter will soon put its ‘bite’ on our activities, HIS continues to roll on.

The PTA Wolfpack started the week off with an amazing German style Hot Lunch. Later in the week, they decked the halls with plenty of holiday cheer and decorations.

The FAME cast and crew continued to refine the big show with run-throughs and practices. They are now less than two weeks away from the performance. They sound wonderful.

Congratulations to Yoko-sensei for leading our 1000 CRANE Club at the Hiroshima International Festival last weekend. Their continued efforts are incredibly appreciated.

The HIS Hoodie orders are now complete and will begin production soon. Thank you for supporting the exciting new designs.

We are looking forward to seeing you at HIS sometime soon for one of our many coming events.

Please read further for more information and be sure to check our HIS Photo Gallery for all the latest pictures.
