Welcome to the Saint Paul-Nagasaki Sister City Committee!
The Saint Paul-Nagasaki Sister City Committee is committed to cultural understanding
and appreciation, through both public and members-only events, and the continual development
of our sister city relationship with Nagasaki, Japan.
Our website, stpaulnagasaki.org, is, much like our relationship with Nagasaki, ever-developing.
Any comments and criticism to the site's design is welcome!

The kites of the Committee's logo are Nagasaki �Hata,� or flag, kites.
The kites were adopted by the citizens of Nagasaki over 350 years ago after they
saw a simple Indian fighting kite flying over Dejima Island next to the red, white, and blue Dutch flag.
