On Friday 30 October 2015, the red carpet was out at the Mercury Cinema for a taste of Japan with the opening night celebration of the 19th annual Japanese Film Festival.
The evening culminated in a screening of the manga-inspired live action comedy, Bakuman (read our review) but before the film came music, dance, food and wine courtesy of The Japan Foundation, Sydney, who has been presenting the Festival since 1997.
