Japan 400
2013, the 400th anniversary of the opening of diplomatic, trade, cultural and scientific relations between Britain and Japan is over. Many thanks to all who registered events as part of the Japan400 year of celebrations. Together we reached almost 250 events in the UK and Japan.
We are no longer registering events under ‘Japan400’ but watch this space. This website is being evolved into a completely free E-book which will include many of the event highlights, images and features about the expanding horizons of Japan-British relations which so many people helped to create.
The first British ship to reach Japan, the Clove, left there at the end of 1613, and arrived into Plymouth on 27 September 1614 (“The seven and twentieth of September we arrived, thankes be to God, at Plimmouth.”) and London on 2 December. The Japan400 team is also supporting and coordinating several significant events for mark the 400th anniversary of the Clove’s homecoming in autumn and winter 2014.
