On October 2, 2022, the Japan Foundation (JF) celebrated its 50th anniversary. To commemorate this occasion, we have launched a special website, “Weaving Ties with the World for 50 Years and Onward,” and have also published a 50th anniversary booklet of the same title. The URLs for the English and Japanese versions of each are below.

This website highlights the last half-century of JF's activities as Japan's sole public organization dedicated to the comprehensive promotion of international cultural exchange. The content includes interviews with individuals who share their stories of working around the world, and reflects the cultural relationships that have been created between Japan, in its economic growth period and beyond, and the rest of the world.
