With regard to his impressions from the visit, the Prime Minister said,
“I felt enriched to be able to expose myself to the art from the Louvre despite that it was only for a short period of time today. I was also reminded of how these portraits communicate the essence of their times.
Japonismes 2018 will begin this month in Paris. I hope that people throughout the world will interact with Japanese technology and culture during this event. Thank you very much.”
