Despite being based on the classical art of kabuki, which is by no means new, it has become an unprecedented hit. I believe this offers clues to Japan’s long history of cultivating a unique culture around the world. At the beginning of the issue, Nakamura Ichitaro, who directed the dance for “National Treasure,” and Kyoto-based Hosoo, who has successfully expanded his business globally, spoke in a conversation. In the interview, Hosoo said, “The future is buried in the past.” There is value that we, as Japanese people, are unaware of. This issue’s special feature explores how Japanese culture and food can create great value around the world. There are plenty of hints in the places all around us. Please look forward to it.
