A retrospective poster exhibition was held October 15th -November 14th. Polish majors at TUFS helped to translate the poster captions.
The exhibition provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on Japan-Poland ties and attracted visitors from within and outside TUFS. A China-Japan-Korea academic conference on Poland was held October 25th-26th. Participants had the chance to enjoy the poster exhibition and its role in Japan-Poland ties.
