Support Our Work
Support
To carry a thousand years of words into the next thousand. As a general incorporated association, we gratefully receive the support of individuals, companies and foundations.
The complete English translation of the Man’yōshū, the "WHACK A WAKA" international karuta, publishing on Japanese culture, and film — every part of True Japan Initiative’s work is a cultural endeavor built up over years.
As a properly incorporated association, we make our work and its results public one by one, and we value long, lasting relationships with companies, foundations and individuals. Your support goes toward translation, research, production and international exchange — the work of passing a thousand years of beauty to the future.
