Tanabata Wishes
The Tanabata Festival brings a splash of colour to public spaces across Japan as beautiful decorations called tanzaku go up on display. We have created a tanzaku gallery to display our tanabata wishes this year and would love to see your wishes too.
The Japan Society Review
The Japan Society Review is published on a bimonthly basis, both online and printed.
Since the starting of the publication in 2006, each issue covers a selection of Japan-related books and films, as well as theatre and stage productions, tv series and exhibitions.
Its purpose is to inform, entertain and encourage readers to explore the works for themselves.
