2. An Introduction to the History of Japanese Anime: Anime is a global phenomenon, a source of Japanese national pride, and a pastime for countless people around the world. In this course, we explore the origins of how pictures in Japanese visual art evolved into the modern form of anime and how this has influenced the national psyche. 4 consecutive weekly sessions (both in-person in Hamilton or available via Zoom).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
