For three shows in a row, we have been featuring individuals who have been striving for social dialogue and trailblazing the way for a Japan that is more flexible and understanding of diversity through the very public job of modeling.
★The first show featured Rena, half-Indian model and TV personality,
★Ｔhe second show Tokyo Girls’ Collection’s first blackanese model, Marie Nakagawa.
★ In this third installment, we feature the person of the hour in international spotlight: Miss Universe Japan, Ariana Miyamoto.
We ask her how she joined the world of modeling and her hopes and aspirations in participating in the Miss Universe competition. Miss Miyamoto has captured headlines calling for the abolishment of racism and we will focus on both her life story and her future as a crusader for multicultural understanding.
