$4.2 Million Donated to Care for Japan Relief Fund
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA received a donation of $4,242,680 on March 2, 2012 for its Care for Japan relief fund from Christie’s “A New Day: Artists for Japan,” an auction of contemporary artwork organized by Takashi Murakami, one of Japan’s most prominent artists, and his art management company, Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. SPFUSA launched Care for Japan last year to assist victims of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of March 11, 2011. As with all donations for Care for Japan, 100% of the contribution will go directly to community relief efforts in Japan through The ROAD Project, a multifaceted undertaking of the Nippon Foundation. More information on the donation is available here and all the works sold can be viewed here.

Policy Brief: Japan and the Trans-Pacific Partnership
by Takashi Terada On November 11, 2011, the day before the United States hosted the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Summit in Honolulu, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced that Japan would “enter into consultations toward participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” With Japan’s economy twice the size of the eight countries currently participating in TPP negotiations with the United States, Japan’s potential entry is important for the pact’s emergence as the preeminent trade agreement in the Asia Pacific. TPP, moreover, has developed into the most important issue on the U.S. trade agenda and is vitally linked to Washington’s new “rebalancing” strategy toward the Asia Pacific. Japan’s decision on TPP likely will also be viewed as an indication of the direction the country chooses to take economically in coming years. To examine the economic, political and strategic implications of Japan’s potential entry into TPP, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA, in cooperation with the Brookings Institution, convened a half-day conference on December 2, 2011. The commentary attached builds on the results of that conference. View Article |
