One by one, six foreign butlers spoke in Japanese about their reasons for choosing a book from Japan or their own country and their thoughts on the book. Questions from the audience were answered, and the venue was filled with fun and discussion.
After all six people had made their presentations, the audience was asked to vote for the book they wanted to read the most, and Mr. Gen Seitsu from China, who introduced "Dashing China," won the grand prize.
BiblioBattle has become popular in Japan, but I felt that this attempt from the perspective of a foreigner living in Japan was very fresh. I'm sure the visitors will also want to read books recommended by foreigners. The event was very popular, with many people saying it was ``very good'' in the survey conducted after the event. There were 33 participants including 6 foreign butlers and staff.
