There is a great need to design new social system both locally and globally. In this Second Tokyo Conference, we aim particularly to highlight the power of culture in creating a new vision for our society through global network – as the Great East Japan Earthquake was a clear reminder that the culture forms the solid foundation of people’s lives.
The symposium will begin with reports from participants in the previous day’s sessions, outlining issues and solutions identified. Our keynote speakers, Shiseido Honorary Chairman Yoshiharu Fukuhara and Indian film maker Ruchir Joshi, will then deliver speeches on the role of culture and art in society. Inviting artists from different fields, the panel will discuss the role of culture in designing the new vision for our society.
