Mimosa Day Event
Hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan
We were honored to sponsor the Mimosa Day event hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan, held on Friday, March 6, 2026.
March 8 marks International Women’s Day.
In Italy, it is widely celebrated as a day to express gratitude and appreciation for women by giving mimosa flowers.
The event was honored by the presence of H.E. Mario Vattani, Ambassador of Italy to Japan, and his wife, and brought together many distinguished guests from both Japan and Italy for a truly elegant occasion.
The venue, the Main Deck of Tokyo Tower, was filled with a warm and celebratory atmosphere, making the event a great success.
Liberissima will continue to support women and remain committed to fostering cultural exchange between Japan and Italy, while supporting the next generation who will shape the future.

Message from the Representative Director
As the Representative Director of Liberissima, I had the opportunity to speak about our support for students studying abroad in Italy, our international cultural exchange activities, and upcoming events.
The program was hosted by the talented Maria Teresa Gow.
She is not only beautiful but also has a warm personality, and thanks to her rhythmic and pleasant hosting style, the time passed very quickly and enjoyably.
We also had the pleasure of presenting her with a charity T-shirt featuring the Liberissima logo.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to DJ Gow, Producer Mr. Fukai, Director Mr. Sasaki, and all those involved for inviting us to the program. Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity.
Inaugural Ceremony of Liberissima and introduction of Sardinia island.

We held the inaugural ceremony of the General Incorporated Association Liberissima, together with an event dedicated to introducing the Italian island of Sardinia.
During the event, Giovanni Piliarvu, photographer and president of the Associazione Isola Sardegna, took participants on a fascinating journey through the traditions, culture and history of the island, showing a glimpse of the island through his evocative photos.
In addition, Sommelier Excellence Satoshi Yabe presented and led a tasting of selected Sardinian wines that were paired with typical island dishes and music, giving the chance to offer everyone an authentic taste of Sardinian culture and warmth.
We sincerely thank all the guests who attended, as well as the Associazione Isola Sardegna for their valuable collaboration and generous support.
Japanese Cooking and cultural class for international students.

We held a Japanese cooking and cultural class by international students from Italy and South America.
It was filled with smiles and joy and participants showed great enthusiasm and curiosity towards Japanese culture.
Many of the students grew up watching anime, so they were excited to see a real ohitsu (traditional wooden rice container) for the first time outside of the anime world.
Through these cultural exchange activities, we hope to continue sharing the charm and beauty of Japanese culture with people from all around the world.
