Business Overview
The Japanese culture that values nature is a tradition of living with nature since ancient times. The NPO Association for the Promotion of Japanese Traditional Culture aims to contribute to the promotion and development of Japanese traditional culture by promoting Japanese traditional culture to the world and passing it on to the next generation. In particular, we are focusing on activities to convey the splendor of traditional culture to Asian countries. In order to develop human resources in traditional culture, this project will develop cultural exchanges in cooperation with universities, and will continue to disseminate traditional Japanese culture to Asian countries, not only for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. The first edition in 2015 aims at a new cultural exchange through collaboration with Vietnamese bamboo artisans.
