Monaco Friends of Japan introduces nippon culture to Monaco residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Since Japan opened up political and commercial relations with foreign countries in 1853, the West has always been curious about the unique culture of the Land of the Rising Sun. With the advent of mangas, video games, sushi, ramen and tonkatsu, Japan has become a trendy country that everyone dreams of visiting. The birthplace of Zen, close to nature and at the same time at the forefront of technology, Japan “intrigues and attracts in equal measure” according to Annie-Claire Benchimol, member of the Association Monaco Friends of Japan (AMJF) non-profit organisation, and wife of its President.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In Monaco, the Japanese Garden, commissioned by Prince Rainier III in 1994, has helped to generate interest in the land that is famous for its cherry trees. Now, the Monaco Friends of Japan Association, created in 2019, plays a complementary role, contributing to the spread of Japan’s rich culture as well as strengthening relations between the Principality and Japan. <\/p>\n\n

The AMFJ wishes to share its love of Japan through the arts, customs, sports and business, and organises at least one activity each month. In three years, the non-profit has created classes in Ikebana, a Japanese floral art, manga, calligraphy or an introduction to Japanese for children, which take place at the Maison des Associations.<\/p>\n\n
