The research grant is funded by Fujixirox Co. Ltd Setsutaro Kobayashi Memorial Fund that provides 1,200,000 yen per grantee during one year.Description
Development of international understanding and cooperation is all the more important to achieve a FUJIXEROX CO.,Ltd peaceful and harmonious global society, which is the long-term goal of humanity in the 21st century. Although Japan has dramatically elevated her position in the world in the decades following World War II, it is also true that Japan has not yet fully lived up to the role expected of her. In particular, Japan does not seem to have the best relations with her Asia-Pacific neighbors in terms of politics, economics and culture despite their geographic proximity and long history of cultural interchanges with Japan. In this respect, further mutual understanding and reliance on continued efforts to foster friendship through interchanges among nations have great significance in today’s world.
