Golden Sun Rises in Kingston - 50 years of Jamaica Japanese releations

Yah Mon - Arigato!

the two terms of greeting/acknowledgement were used pretty much interchangably on Saturday last as the Embassy of Japan teamed with Jamaican cultural interests to mark the golden Anniversary (1964-2014) of Jamaica-Japan diplomatic relations, which would no doubt have been spurred by Jamaica's presence at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The festivities unfolded on the Jamaica House grounds (Hope Road side)

But its cars from Japan and reggae music from Jamaica (although that ratio is changing) that form the bulk of trade and cultural exchange between the two nations today. There was much live reggae, from both jamaican and Japanese artistes, and there were also cars on offer, with banks at the ready to finance. In between, there e was more than enough to keep the large numbers occupied as the following images show.
