In today’s show I am delighted to be joined by Yumiko Jones. Originally from Fukuoka in the South of Japan, Yumiko came to the UK in 2001.
After settling in Bristol, Yumiko felt that there was a need to bridge the gap between the Japanese people who lived in the city and the wider population who wanted to find out more about Japan. In 2008 she started the Bristol Japanese Cultural Society.
In our conversation we discuss Yumiko’s project and just some of the many cultural aspects of Japan including, minimalism, cuisine and architecture. In Yumiko’s words it is more than just about sushi!
