Welcome to Arts & Culture
From staging plays and exhibitions, to screening Japanese films and arranging cultural talks on various subjects including literature. Both independently and in collaboration with other UK organisations, we organise fascinating programmes in the UK to foster understanding of Japan in the fields of arts and culture. We also support the UK’s Japan-related art and cultural programmes through our funding schemes.
