On January 28 and 29, the Embassy of Japan participated in G-anime, an anime and manga convention in Gatineau, Quebec to introduce Japanese culture and promote Japan as a tourism destination. At the booth, the Embassy provided information about the regions and cities of Japan, screened videos about Japanese culture, and offered origami paper and cultural activities. It was a good opportunity for the public to learn and experience Japanese culture.
