Introduction
We would like to introduce “Japan Fiesta in Christchurch” and request your partnership to achieve our vision. Japan Daisuki Ltd. is an Auckland based event company that supports companies or organisations to introduce and share Japanese culture in New Zealand. Graphic Novel Cafe is an established shop in Auckland that sells Japanese comic books (English version) and Japanese character goods. Japan Daisuki Ltd. and Graphic Novel Cafe are now working together to host a new Japanese Cultural event in Christchurch, “Japan Fiesta in Christchurch”.

The owners and advisors of Japan Daisuki Ltd have been involved as directors in organising "Japan Day" in Auckland. Each one of the members is diligent in sharing Japanese Culture in New Zealand and are expert in organising and operating Japanese Cultural events. Japan Daisuki Ltd has been building good relationships with Japanese companies/ organisations in New Zealand and Japan, including the Japanese Embassy/Consulate. This has included the Overload committee and we have delivered many successful events together over the last few years.
[Graphic Novel Cafe (GNC)] www.graphicnovelcafe.co.nz
GNC is an established shop founded in 2002 that specialises in manga (English version) and official anime and manga character products in Auckland. And GNC plays an essential role in the annual event "Overload" where many fans gather to celebrate the ever-growing anime and manga culture in New Zealand. This vibrant event, centred around anime and manga inspired art culture, has been bringing together local fans and creative enthusiasts gathering to exhibit and sell their creations for 15 years.
We aim to deliver the famous Japanese pop culture to other parts of New Zealand as well and are now ready to take on a new journey outside of Auckland with the knowledge, experience and network. We have decided to work together to launch a whole new Japanese Cultural event in New Zealand. Our goal is to create an event where attendees can experience Japanese pop culture and traditional culture.
This will be the first step of our Project.
We are confident that it will deliver exciting moments for Christchurch locals, and become an event that they will look forward to each year.
Thank you for your consideration and we are looking forward to working with you all.
