Update from JICC
With the new restrictions, we have had to temporarily close our exhibition "The Techniques Shaping Japanese Textiles". You can still visit the exhibition website to find out about the individual artists and we hope to reopen next month subject to the easing of restrictions. Please follow the Embassy on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates.
Several new online resources are available for you to connect with Japan during the lockdown period. In particular, you can relive the successful "Japan Matsuri Presents" which was streamed live in September. Watch the playlists for Saturday and Sunday on YouTube.
We have a new quiz especially for dog-lovers! Test your knowledge and maybe learn something new with our "Dogs in Japan" quiz here. Although now temporarily closed, Japan House London has an ongoing "Architecture for Dogs" exhibition with several tie-in events. A virtual version of the exhibition is to become available soon so please do follow them also for their latest updates.
