The Japan Foundation has established “the JF Nihongo Network”,
a new system that links Japanese-language organizations throughout the
world.
The institutions and organizations in supporting or cooperating relationship
with the Foundation through its Japanese-language programs that work on
projects that have a extensive ripple effects over an entire area or country
in terms of enhancing the development of Japanese-language education will
be the “core members” of the network. They are expected to
contribute more to the establishment and development of Japanese-language
education in that country.
Hence the name “Sakura Network”, we hope that this network
will develop and prosper in every part of the world, just like beautiful
cherry blossoms.
The Japan Foundation will work together in cooperation with the member organizations
of the “Sakura Network” to provide learning environment for those
who want to learn Japanese-language, and further advance the quality of the
Japanese-language education overseas.
