The Japanese Literature Programme of the FCS, Universitas Gadjah Mada, once again proves its achievements. Akbar Rizqi Dhea Habibi, or Rizqi, achieved the 2nd place on the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Shuuji Contest on April 6 2019.
Previously, Rizqi has already won several competitions in the same field. Yet, he noted that on this occasion, the competition was exceptionally competitive. “The previous Shuuji Contests I attended this time has more diverse participants from Javanese universities, and all of them wrote very beautifully. I was quite nervous and trembled a bit when I wrote.” said Rizqi.
Even though he only got the 2nd place, Rizqi successfully placed better than other contestants, who came from East Java to West Java. The 1st place went to a contestant from STBA YAPARI ABA, and the 3rd place went to a contestant from UPI.
This competition is a part of the annual Japanzuki Show, an annual event held by Himpunan Mahasiswa Bahasa Jepang (HIMABAJA) UPI, under the supervision of Departemen Pendidikan Bahasa Jepang UPI. This event is held in order for those interested in Japanese language and culture to be creative and exchange knowledge on Japanese culture and language.
Rizqi hopes to see more of his juniors interested in competitive Shuuji in the future.
