U.S. has chance
to see Japanese
modern culture
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The United States and Japan have fom
inaugurated a three-month celebration of the arts and culture
modem Japan, one of America’s most important but least undent
allies.
Called “Japan Today,” the event opening Tuesday eveningnu
the greatest effort ever undertaken to bring about greater und®]
standing between the two economic superpowers and former Woi
War II enemies.
Mention Japan, and most Americans think of Toyota or Dat
cars, Sony color television sets, stereos, and transistor radios, H
also think of the second world war. Both U.S. and Japanese old
want to change that.
They want Americans to see beyond Japanese statistics, ecom
charts and graphs, and adverse trade balances, and grasp ah
understanding of Japan’s modern culture.
So, for the next three months, major exhibitions of moi
Japanese art, films, music, dance, drama and panel discussions)
scheduled to be held in Washington, New York, Boston,
Denver, Los Angeles and Miami. i
Special events also are planned in other American community
including contemporary Japanese print exhibitions in Aspen,™
and Indianapolis, and Kobo Abe Theater Troupe performancesinSj
Louis.
But trade is a major part of modern Japanese culture, too. Sotl«i||
will be trade seminars in Orlando, Fla.; Des Moines, Iowa;
Ohio; Honolulu; Kansas City, and New York.
The exclusive, invitation-only opening festivities began at
stigious National Academy of Sciences with an address by %
Sadako Ogata, Japan’s envoy extraordinary, in its United Nation'
mission.
In her inaugural address, Ogata said that although there is aM
tradition of friendly relations between Japan and the United Statfi[
“there are misconceptions in both countries about each
societies that could lead to serious strains.”
She said the United States has been so successful it believes!
virtues should be universally accepted. Japan, on the other hand,k
remained basically insular despite its vast international ecc
power.
