Professor Shahid Vawda visited the National Museum of Ethnology (Minpaku) in Osaka on November 27, 2023. Guided by Professor Kazunobu Ikeya, the visit included insights into Minpaku's editorial office, storage room, and exhibition space.

This marked it was the first visit from South Africa to Minpaku, and we hope it fosters connections between Japan and South Africa. Gratitude to Professor Ikeya and Minpaku for their warm welcome. This collaboration strengthens ties for future academic pursuits.
