On Monday 11 December, the annual Dujat December Dinner took place at Hotel Okura Amsterdam with a record number of 470 guests.

It was our honor to welcome H.E. Mr. Hiroshi Minami, Ambassador of Japan to the Netherlands and Mr. Geoffrey van Leeuwen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation to this event, and we thank them for their wonderful speeches.

One highlight our guests will most likely remember was the amazing performance by Yamato Taiko School. They are a Taiko drum school in The Netherlands, organized by the Japanese group Yamato from Japan. They played the song called ‘Hyuga’ 日向 (meaning: Sunrise).

Congratulations to Yanmar Europe (well-established) and Sekisui Design Studio (newcomer) for winning the awards! The Deshima Awards were presented and awarded by Ms. Hilde van der Meer, Commissioner of NFIA.
