Following on the success of the inaugural

exhibition featuring Japanese Cultures

and Creativity held in October 2016, a

new Exhibition entitled ‘Creative Travel

to Japan 2017’, will be held at UNESCO

Headquarters in Paris between 4th-8th

September 2017. This year's exhibition

will portray travel to Japan based around

the theme of ‘Inheriting Traditions and

Creating a New Culture’. It will be shown

through the eyes of photographers,

film-makers and exponents of traditional

crafts and cultures. The project will also

feature Japanese award-winning

animation films which are

world-renowned examples of innovation

and the diversity of artistic expression.

The quality of Japan’s animation films is famed throughout the world. Shots from the films will be displayed alongside photographs of the

actual locations. These will include examples both of Japan’s beautiful scenery and also of ordinary daily life in rural areas.

‘A Silent Voice’ (September 2016), selected in the official competition at the Annecy international Animation Film Festival (June 12 to 17), this film finely encompasses sensitive topics such as school bullying and disability.
