On 26 February 2021, the Embassy of Japan in the UK held a National Day Event to mark the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the event was broadcast online.
It was hosted by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to the United Kingdom, Hajime Hayashi and Mrs. Hayashi.
The King’s Singers performed national anthems of both countries as well as “Hana wa saku – Flowers Bloom” to mark the 10th anniversary of the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011.
