On January 10, the Japan Foundation (JF) unveiled a new portal website, “Doors to Arts of Japan.” Designed as a door to various aspects of Japanese arts and culture, Doors to Arts of Japan is a central portal for the JF-produced videos related to the arts, including promotional videos for JF’s ongoing “Traveling Exhibitions Program”, which is part of JF’s activities to introduce Japanese arts and culture to the world.

JF uploads videos to YouTube in multiple languages to showcase Japanese arts and culture to a wide audience in Japan and abroad. The 14 series of over 70 videos already uploaded to YouTube have over 1.8 million views in total. By collecting and hosting the explanatory information for the videos and links to the videos and to playlists on a single website, JF will provide an easily-accessible platform for those with an interest in Japanese art.
