Japan and France jointly organize an extensive cultural season to showcase the unrevealed beauty of Japanese culture in Paris, the capital of art, and other cities in France. In the 19^th century, “Japonism” spread rapidly after ukiyo-e and other aspects of Japanese culture were introduced to France, having great influence on artists such as van Gogh and Claude Monet. In 2018, the 160 years of friendship between Japan and France, Japonism is gaining popularity once again, inspired by the creativity of modern day Japan, which still has the power to surprise and attract.
