Preliminary Round
On Saturday, March 12, the fifth annual Metro Vancouver Japan Bowl was held at Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in Burnaby.
Consul General Hatori delivered the opening remarks. In his speech, he encouraged the students to do their best and thanked JETAABC for their efforts to expand the understanding of Japan and its culture among high school students.
Japan Bowl is a trivia competition aimed at high school students studying Japanese. It tests not only their knowledge of the language, but quizzes them on a range of questions drawn from Japanese history, politics, culture, arts, customs, pop-culture and more. 14 teams of students from seven schools participated this year.
This year, a team from Centennial Secondary School (Coquitlam) “The Pillar Men” were named the champions. Teams from Port Moody Secondary School, "Namae Ga Nai,” and R.A. McMath Secondary School (Richmond) "Momo” placed second and third, respectively.
In addition to the competition portion, the venue was enlivened by a taiko drum performance and a Urasenke tea ceremony demonstration and tasting.
