Japan’s various pop-culture products, from music to anime, manga, and tv shows have cemented the country’s soft-power influence all over the world. On top of that, the Land of the Rising Sun also sets up Japan Foundation in multiple nations - a cultural hub to provide access to its culture through more formal means. This week, Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur joins us on the show, to share their offerings for our local Japanophiles.
