An event to promote the photo exhibition "Japan through Diplomats' Eyes" was held on April 23 at the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Tokyo.
Since its inception in 1998, the exhibition has been held annually and features photographs taken by diplomats, their family members and embassy staff in Japan. The exhibition attracts not only other diplomats, but also the general public and professional photographers.
Setting a specific theme every year such as "Face of Japan" in 2002 and "Colors of Japan" in 2009, the exhibition includes a competition to select Prince Takamado Memorial Prize and Grand Prix winners from the works.
