Japanese-Hungarian relations officially began at the time of the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1869. Relations between the two countries, however, only gained real impetus after the change of political system in Hungary in 1989.
One of the most impressive moments of the varied cultural programme will be realised as a symbol of the friendship between the two countries. Elizabeth Bridge over the Danube will be given new floodlighting designed by Ms Motoko Ishii.
