As Japan's Ambassador to Pakistan, he is delighted to see Japan through the lens of someone who knows our country so well, he added. "I believe this exhibition powerfully connects our two nations. It allows us to share Japan's beauty and complexity with the people of Pakistan, fostering deeper understanding and appreciation. It reminds us that despite the distance, we share the values, respect for traditions, love of beauty, and appreciation for the human experience", remarked Ambassador Shuichi.
