I had the pleasure of creating an original animation for @aseanjapancentre  featuring how the daily activities of a Japanese high schooler is deeply entwined with the ASEAN countries! It was such a fun and fulfilling project in which I’ve learnt a great deal about everyday nuances. Thank you Tomo for this opportunity.
