22 Haziran 2026Japan Times

Japanese culture is experiencing rapid growth in certain parts of Europe, despite Japan's minimal investment in those regions. This paradox raises questions about the effectiveness of Japan's 'Cool Japan' initiative aimed at promoting its cultural exports.
The article explores the dynamics of cultural influence and investment in soft power.

The contrast between cultural growth and investment highlights a potential oversight in Japan's soft power strategy. While cultural appeal can thrive organically, strategic investments may enhance and sustain this growth.
