Japan has a wealth of traditional culture across the entire country.

We believe we must urgently create a sustainable framework for the preservation and development of precious traditional culture.
The Nippon Foundation established the Iroha Nihon Fund to repair and restore cultural assets (both designated and non-designated), and we are asking for donations from the general public.
10% (in some cases 20%) of the program fee for the use of temples and other facilities participating in the Iroha Nihon project is donated to the Iroha Nihon Fund.
