CULCON EVENT
The Japan Foundation has sponsored a U.S.-Japan curatorial exchange program. While Japanese curators have comparatively more opportunities to visit the United States, American curators, especially those not specializing in Japanese art, have more limited opportunities to visit Japan. For this reason, this program has taken the shape of short-term invitational trips to Japan for American curators.
CULCON EVENT
The year 2008 marks the 150th anniversary of friendship between Japan and the United States that started with the Treaty of Amity and Commerce. This presents an excellent opportunity for reinvigorating and redefining our alliance at all levels. CULCON is also poised to reaffirm its own mission as a pathfinder for the vital intellectual, cultural and educational links that have made our relationship stronger over the past 50 years and will help bind the two countries more closely in a global context.

Wood, President, United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia and Professor Nagayo Homma, Chancellor, Seijo Gakuen Schools and University.
