Hr Agu Sisaskile Tõusva Päikese ordeni kuldsete ja hõbedaste kiirtega üleandmise tseremoonia

6. detsembril toimus suursaadiku residentsis tseremoonia, mille käigus anti hr Agu Sisaskile üle Tõusva Päikese orden kuldsete ja hõbedaste kiirtega. Tänavu mais kuulutati välja välisriikide kodanikest aumärkide saajad. Nende hulgas oli ka hr Agu Sisask, kes pälvis ordeni oma panuse eest Jaapani kirjanduse tutvustamisel Eestis ning kahepoolsete suhete edendamisel.

Tseremoonial meenutas suursaadik Kitaoka fotode abil hr. Sisaski tegevust ja selgitas tema saavutuste olulisust. Suursaadik õnnitles hr. Sisaskit ning andis tema pere ja vanade sõprade juuresolekul üle ordeni koos aukirjaga. Pidulikus meeleolus öeldud tänusõnades võrdles hr Sisask saavutatut pika teekonnaga, seejärel õnnitlesid hr. Sisaskit kõik kohalolijad. Võrratu tseremoonia sümboliseeris hästi Eesti ja Jaapani vastastikuse mõistmise süvenemist.
