Experts from Japan and Europe will present papers on 400 years of diplomatic, artistic and cultural interaction, in conjunction with the exhibition Japan: Courts & Culture at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace.
The conference includes a private visit to the State Apartments at Windsor Castle, an evening reception at Japan House London, and a private evening view of Japan: Courts & Culture at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace.
