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 H.E. Mr. Ahmed CHAFRA, Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia to Japan

Dear visitors,

It is an honor for me, on behalf of the Government and people of Tunisia, to extend a warm welcome to this important exhibition about my country at the prestigious Tokyo Fuji Art Museum.

Tunisia and Japan established diplomatic relations in 1956. In 2026, we will proudly celebrate the 70th anniversary of these enduring relations, which have fostered strong economic, cultural, and social ties.

Tunisia is a country with a rich and millennial history, the cradle of great civilizations such as Carthage, whose remarkable achievements in architecture, trade, and culture continue to inspire the world. Our country also boasts a diverse natural and cultural heritage, from the Mediterranean coastline to the Sahara Desert, offering unique landscapes and experiences.

This exhibition will allow you to learn more about Tunisia, its people, traditions, and the diverse attractions it offers. I invite you to enjoy and be inspired by the magic of Tunisia, a nation that preserves its ancestral legacy while looking confidently toward the future.

Welcome!

Ahmed CHAFRA
Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia to Japan
