The Musubi Project logo

The Musubi Project is a collaborative project run by South Wolds Japanese language students led by Charlotte and Ella that works with organisations such as Loughborough University, YO! Sushi and the East Midlands Development Agency to make the greatest impact in our local area. Our basic aims are to develop relations with the Japanese Olympic team, improve international relations between Japan and the United Kingdom, and to educate children in our local area about Japan.

 

Musubi is a Japanese word that means knot, and is used to symbolise the spirit of cooperation and working together that is displayed during our Musubi days. Workshops avaliable on Musubi days include: Culture, Language, Modern Sport, Traditional Sport and Taiko Drumming, watch the slideshow below to see some of these activities on the first Musubi day.
