You know that your tourism exhibit programs are working really well when your Prime Minister takes time off work to check it out. Incidentally, this is what happened.
During the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr. Shinzo Abe’s 10-day trip to Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, UK) to discuss trade, he found some time to have a little sightseeing (for one he visited the Louvre), and visited the “Evangelion and Japanese Swords” exhibition held in Paris.
“Anime is very popular in France. Utilizing Japan’s strengths will help the growing of the economy,” Abe said to the press. “A collaboration between a modern anime and a traditional swordsmanship is one of the new ways to promote ‘Cool Japan’ to the world.”
The exhibition started on 30 April, and will continue till 21 June. After that, it will head down to Mueso ABC in Madrid, Spain and exhibit there from 5 July to 28 November.
