SPJCC will be scaling down club activities this month for the coming semestral exams, and we sincerely wish our members all the best! That said, do look forward to an art installation exhibition at the Japan Creative Centre and a Yakult factory visit at the end of February, as well as a giveaway for this month. For those interested in a Japan trip, Tsubasa sensei has kindly agreed to subsidise a person from our club (terms and conditions apply). Beyond that, do look forward to a March packed with activities for the holidays :D
YAKULT FACTORY VISIT
We will be having a Yakult Factory visit where members will be able to gain an insight into the production of one of Japan's famous cultured drinks, as well as the company itself. As per most factory visits, do bring some money with you if you want to buy it fresh from the factory. Places are limited and are given on a first come first serve basis. Registration via forum only.
Date: Friday, 26th February Time: Tour starts at 2.30pm Venue:Yakult (S) Pte Ltd

Singapore 758300 Meeting Place: Sembawang MRT, 1.30pm
Yuji Kimura has put his hand to multitudes of magazines and literary publications over the years, and is, without doubt, a shining gem in the field of editorial design in Japan. There is simply no other person that has the presence or influence that Kimura commands. His methodology is steeped in an intimacy that is all‐pervasive. Kimura, himself, was involved in putting this exhibition together, which has become a unique installation showcasing his world of editorial design. It is our great hope that you will get to share in his vision where design is not something “special” or “exclusive”, but rather is something that is always close and personal to the life of the beholder.
