On May 23, 2026, Princess Kako of Akishino and Prince Hisahito of Akishino visited the special exhibition “160th Anniversary of Japan-Belgium Friendship — The History of Artistic and Intellectual Exchange” at the Kokugakuin University Museum in Shibuya, Tokyo. This year marks the 160th anniversary since Japan and Belgium concluded the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation in 1866.
The exhibition introduces the history of exchanges between the two countries from both perspectives, with “beauty” and “knowledge” as its central themes. It is presented through items from Belgian diplomatic archives, the national collection of Belgium, as well as the collection of Kokugakuin University.
