Happy New Year to all our subscribers! We hope that you had a peaceful winter holiday and wish you and your family good health for 2021. As the restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic continue in the UK, our library and foyer gallery remain closed to the public until further notice. We continue to work remotely where possible, and are available to answer enquiries via email at info@ld.mofa.go.jp.

As mentioned last year, the Japan-UK Season of Culture will be extended until the end of 2021. We look forward to including many new and rescheduled events in our extended season. Please check the official website for updates.

The shortlisted entries for the Manga Jiman Competition 2020 were also announced and the entries will be available to read in full as an online exhibition celebrating the winners, which will go live on mangajiman.co.uk in March.
