PechaKucha Night in Nishinomiya Vol. 3 was held just last week, and here’s a report from that city’s organizer, Brent Jones.
January 22 started out like any other cold winter evening in Nishinomiya, but things soon heated up at CUBE (our pet name for the Nishinomiya campus of Konan University), with a rambunctious crowd converging here for the Vol. 3 of PKN Nishinomiya. The evening’s lineup included a filmmaker, designers working in several different domains, and an educator. The highlight, however, turned out to be plant hunter Seijun Nishihata. His presentation just before the beer break included the unveiling of a collection of 3-4 meter sakura branches that had been manipulated to bloom just in time for this event. A collective gasp went up from the crowd and this led into an animated beer break. PKN Nishinomiya continues to attract an eclectic crowd from around Kansai and is building a reputation as not-to-be-missed event. We look forward to the next PKN here in late April or early May.
Below, two more photos from PKN Nishinomiya Vol. 3, including a look at those sakura branches in bloom.
