EXHIBITION OVERVIEW

We are pleased to announce that the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum is hosting the ‘Exhibitions of Embassies: Introspective on Cultural Exchanges with the World.’ This exhibition series has been made possible through the dedicated collaboration of foreign embassies in Japan, who are deeply committed to disseminating their country’s culture as a window for cultural exchange.

This groundbreaking exhibition series marks the first attempt to illuminate lesser-known aspects of culture by showcasing treasured artworks and cultural assets loaned from embassies and ambassadorial residences of various countries. In addition to the exhibitions, we organize seminars and workshops led by embassy personnel. Moreover, we collaborate with our museum shop and restaurant, offering visitors immersive experiences that bring them closer to the vibrant cultures of these nations.

The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum continues to work hand-in-hand with countries worldwide to promote cultural exchange for peacebuilding in all its forms, providing opportunities for visitors to enjoy and appreciate outstanding cultures worldwide under its motto, ‘Fostering Global Citizens is Our Mandate.’


Greeting from the Ambassador of Ukraine to Japan

Dear Guests, Dear Friends!

I sincerely welcome you to this unique exhibition dedicated to traditional Ukrainian art. We are delighted to have the opportunity today to share with you a part of Ukraine's cultural heritage, which is an integral component of our national identity.

Culture serves as a powerful bridge that connects nations, fosters mutual understanding, and strengthens friendships. Ukraine and Japan are united not only by mutual respect but also by shared values – a love for traditions, a deep appreciation of history, and a pursuit of harmony. Initiatives like this exhibition help us learn more about each other, find common ground, and deepen the bond of friendship between our countries.

Today, you will step into the world of Ukrainian art – ancient crafts, exquisite ornaments, and the profound symbolism of folk artifacts. Each exhibit tells a story of our culture, traditions, and spiritual world. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the richness of Ukrainian heritage, to experience its beauty and strength.

I invite you to enjoy this exhibition, to discover new facets of Ukrainian culture, and to join us in its preservation and promotion. Together, we can strengthen the friendship between Ukraine and Japan, inspiring one another to new cultural achievements.

Thank you for your attention and support!
