Borrow Japanese cultural items
The Embassy of Japan has prepared two different sets of Japanese cultural items that are available for loan. It may be possible to borrow further items that are not included in the sets upon request. Please contact the Embassy directly for any enquiries about additional items. For large events, it is possible to borrow both sets.
Take a look inside one of the box sets in this unboxing video on the Embassy's YouTube channel.
Notes:
We ask you to kindly wash and iron all borrowed Yukata and Happi before you return them to us.
We can only lend to organisations. In some cases items must be collected in person from the Embassy. To borrow a set, please send a request letter on headed paper to the Embassy (info@ld.mofa.go.jp).

Guidelines for borrowing cultural items
| 1. | Items are loaned free of charge. |
| 2. | Items are normally loaned for a maximum period of two weeks. |
| 3. |
Since we are only able to loan items to organisations, we require a request letter on headed paper. Please send request letters to the Embassy (info@ld.mofa.go.jp). A request can only be processed once the request letter has been received. |
| 4. |
The person making the loan is responsible for returning the items to the Embassy (by post/courier/in person). |
| 5. |
So that we may continue our loan system, please return all items on time and ensure that they are repackaged in the way you received them. If an item is dirty or defective, please indicate this when returneing. Please note: Flags should not be washed, as this need to be done professionally. |
| 6. | We ask you to kindly wash and iron borrowed Yukata and Happi before you return them to us. |
| 7. |
If for some reason an item cannot be returned in the condition it was lent, the borrower will be required to pay for a replacement to be purchased and delivered to the Embassy. |
