This panel discussion will examine the relationship between
Geelong and Japan through the wool trade.
Japan has been a prominent buyer of Australian wool since its
first shipment in 1890, overtaking France as Australia’s second largest market
for wool in 1931-32, and then making news in 1995 when the Japanese company
Aoki International placing the winning bid on the ‘million dollar bale’
auctioned within the walls of National Wool Museum.
Join researchers as they
unpack this significant relationship and the impact it has had on both
Australian and Japanese design.
