Creating opportunities to engage in the values and virtues embodied in art and life Arts and culture—such as fine arts, performing arts, literature, films, food and fashion—inspire interest in different values and virtues. They give insights into how people think, act, and communicate, and nurture mutual understanding that transcends language and stereotypes. The Japan Foundation creates opportunities for people all over the world to encounter Japanese art and culture by supporting artists, presenting works, and creating international networks.
