Amigos Koike s Works to Add to Taiwan-Japan Ties TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach - 15 March 2021 - To further bolster the friendship between Taiwan and Japan, the Hakka Affairs Council (HAC) invited Amigos Koike, a renowned Japanese illustrator, to serve as a resident artist in seven Hakka townships along Provincial Highway 3 during August-September 2019. This unconventional marketing initiative was also intended to bring the beauty of Taiwan s Hakka culture to the broader international community. For the Japanese illustrator, it proved an uncommon experience in which he developed a profound appreciation of Taiwan s Hakka culture, people, and sensibilities. Over the course of his stay, he came up with some 280 sketch illustrations depictions of the encounters, scenery, and food in those Hakka communities that left him a lasting impression.
