On the evening of March 18, 2025, a delegation from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, visited the CASA Art Space of the “Silk Road Blossoms, Encountering Shaanxi” organizing committee, toured the “China-Japan Cultural and Artistic Exchange Exhibition,” and engaged in in-depth cultural exchanges with the organizing committee. Li Fengyan, Deputy District Head of Xincheng District, and Wang Lirong, Chairman of the Xincheng District Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, jointly attended the event. Chang Yunfeng, head of the organizing committee, accompanied the delegation throughout the visit and gave a special presentation.
The delegation consisted of representatives from over 40 organizations, including the Fukuoka Prefectural Tourism Bureau and the Fukuoka Prefectural Government’s Shanghai Office. Guided by the organizing committee, the delegation viewed the posters, silk art paintings, and other artworks in the exhibition, gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of each piece. During the explanations, Chang Yunfeng, the head of the organizing committee, also highlighted the achievements of cooperation between Shaanxi and Japan in culture, trade, and tourism in recent years, emphasizing the vision of continuously deepening cultural exchange and industrial collaboration between the two regions through the Belt and Road Initiative.
This exchange activity is another practical achievement of the “Silk Road Blossoms: Encountering Shaanxi” organizing committee. In the future, the committee will continue to build a platform for Sino-Japanese cultural exchange, helping regional open cooperation reach a higher level. With the deepening of the consensus between Shaanxi and Fukuoka Prefecture, both sides will further explore the establishment of a long-term cooperation mechanism, including exchanging cultural and tourism promotion teams, jointly building industry-university-research bases, and launching an online cultural exchange zone, injecting new momentum into Sino-Japanese people-to-people friendship. Using culture as a medium and industry as a bridge, “Silk Road Blossoms” is writing a win-win chapter that transcends mountains and seas.
