I've thought for some time that I would like to come to Digital Hollywood University. I plan to touch on a number of topics concerning the new cultural diplomacy that Japan is now pursuing, and for that I have to say that I couldn't have found a better place to present my thoughts. I want to extend. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

More voices for balabolka android box. April 28, 2006 On the Entry into Force of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage I've thought for some time that I would like to come to Digital Hollywood University. I plan to touch on a number of topics concerning the new cultural diplomacy that Japan is now pursuing, and for that I have to say that I couldn't have found a better place to present my thoughts. I want to extend my thanks to all the people here at the school who have made great efforts to provide such a setting and welcome me today. In the area of cultural diplomacy, we've had one very good thing happen recently. A new international convention has just entered into force, one which Japan has taken the lead in promoting over the years. The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted in 2003 at the urging of UNESCO.

Recently the number of signatories reached the required 30-nation mark, bringing about its entry into force on April 20. As you can imagine from the name, this Convention promotes at a global level safeguards very similar to a framework already existing in Japan, through which our intangible cultural heritage and our living national treasures have been protected. For decades since the end of World War II, Japan has been protecting the intangibles of skills, techniques, and master craftsmen themselves, which must exist before any tangibles can be created. In this way it has protected heritage such as Joruri puppet theater and Bizen ware. And now, the goal is to get those same protections in place around the globe. Much of the intangible cultural heritage in need of safeguarding, such as traditional performing arts and other such skills, can be found in Asia or in developing nations.

We can say that in looking to preserve those valuable assets, this new Convention found some significant points of inspiration from Japan's ideas on this issue. Japan has been, for this to happen, an active partner of UNESCO since 1993, and there have been numerous areas in which Japan has taken the lead to produce positive results, such as in creating a map of the languages of the world which are in danger of dying out. Now we have protections in the form of a convention, with these safeguards existing in the form of formal rules governing international society. This particular form of Japan's cultural diplomacy may indeed be 'intangible,' but it represents a tremendous contribution to the world, in my opinion. To Practitioners in the Content Industry I am assuming that there are many practitioners in the content industry here today.

I believe that it is you who will be this new era's promoters of modern Japanese culture to the world. You can see this clearly if you take a peek in any of the shops in China catering to the young otaku-type manga and anime fans.

You will find the shops' walls lined with any and every sort of Japanese anime figurine you can imagine. With all due respect to Mickey and Donald, whether you look at J-pop, J-anime, or J-fashion, the competitiveness of any of these is much more than you might imagine. What you in the content business are doing is work that you yourselves have chosen to do, not work that someone-least of all people at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs-has asked you to do. It is that fact that is bringing about a steady increase in the number of fans of Japan. We have a grasp on the hearts of young people in many countries, not the least of which being China. What you are doing through your work is something that we over at the Ministry couldn't do if we tried.

And that is why I say that you are the people who are the new actors involved with bringing Japanese culture to the world. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs looks forward to building solid partnerships with you in the years to come, and that is something I want to mention to you immediately this evening. The Power of Popeye and Astro Boy I am sure that you are familiar with the American animated cartoon Popeye. Popeye was broadcast on Japanese TV for many years after the war. When Popeye the sailor man downs a can of spinach, he is suddenly endowed with huge muscles and is able to take on his scoundrel rival Bluto and win back his true love Olive Oyl. Now what kind of impression would watching that kind of cartoon leave on Japanese kids? The image that American sailors are on the side of justice, of course.
