On 22 January 2026, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) received a donation of valuable titles revealing the treasures of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consisting of 43 books, the donation was made as part of READ JAPAN PROJECT<\/a>. Focusing on Japan\u2019s international promotion and understanding, the project is run by The Tokyo Foundation<\/a> and with financial support of The Nippon Foundation<\/a>, which initiated READ\u2026 in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
