In the 2012 fiscal year, the Japan Foundation will undertake an intensive cultural exchange programme in cities around Russia.
The main theme of the project is "Overcoming devastating earthquakes". The Japan Foundation will present how Japan is recovering and regenerating after the earthquake which struck the Tohoku region in March last year through diverse projects such as exhibitions, lectures, film showings, Japanese food and robot demonstrations, among others.
We hope to enhance opportunities for cultural exchange between Japan and Russia.
