After viewing the exhibition, the Prime Minister said,
“I saw a series of wonderful artwork while thinking of the profound significance of the cultural exchanges which have been done by Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress over many years. I was deeply moved, and once again recognize the beauty and depth of the art and culture of Japan.
