"Japanese Culture"

Presented by: David Robinson

2023 was an exciting year for North Carolina and Japan relations; and 2024 is already shaping up to be even bigger. Japanese culture - and food, of course - continue to captivate North Carolinians. Anime continues to draw young people into a study of the Japanese language and new university partnerships are florishing. The North Carolina Museum of Art will unveil a samurai exhibit this fall and Charlotte will host a "once-every-14-years' business conference with a few hundred visitors from Japan.

David Robinson, the Honorary Counsel for Japan gave an interesting talk on what is happening between the

U. S. and Japan.
