On November 3 the photo exhibition was opened in the Historical Presidential Palace in Kaunas (Vilniaus str. 33). This exhibition is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of reestablished diplomatic relations between Japan and Lithuania. The exhibition will be opened until the middle of November.

The exhibition was opened by the Ambassador of Japan to Lithuania H.E. Miyoko Akashi. The opening  ceremony took place during the international symposium “Japanology within Asian Studies in Lithuania: historical perspective and present situation”, organized by VMU Centre for East Asian Studies.

The exhibition is divided into two main themes: the 20th anniversary of reestablished diplomatic relations between Japan and Lithuania, and restoration works after the big earthquake in Eastern Japan. This exhibition aims to express gratitude of Japan to Lithuania for its great support. Among the photos one can also find those reflecting  the history of Japan-Lithuania relations before and after 1991. The exhibition does not only show territories, devastated by tsunami and earthquake, it also displays the present situation: the rapid restoration of the country thanks to the support from Lithuania and from the whole world.
