In 1975, Queen Elizabeth II became the first reigning monarch of the United Kingdom to make a State Visit to Japan.

Japanese works of art today adorn the walls of more than a dozen current and former royal residences, as they have done for centuries. Together they demonstrate the vibrant artistic exchange that has long united our two courts and cultures.
