Abstract: Please forgive me for not being able to attend this memorable meeting today. It is said that the last decade is the period of japan’s game, as japan faces a declining GDP, technological delays such as digitization, and a period of rapid population decline. In order for as many people as possible to have the desire to value the country, it is necessary to understand japan’s excellent culture, but I think that culture has the power to empathize and connect people, and it has an important role. In commemoration of the success of the “Nippon Art & Culture Salon”, I will support you with little effort.
