Description: 1858. It constitutes the first step in Franco-Japanese relations, which are today, both rich and warm. Some years later, France became a model for Japanese modernization. In the same way, Japanese arts such as etchings, painting and ceramics strongly influenced the French art world at the end of the 19th century, giving rise to the Japanese style which would inspire the impressionist movement. During the G8 summit in June 2007, Nicolas Sarkozy and the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe confirmed their intention to establish more amicable and cooperative relations than in the past. Several projects of cooperation and exchange, as well as events in different fields are already scheduled.
