About the japan Performing Arts Foundation (NBS)
The Japan Performing Arts Foundation was founded in 1981 with the objective of undertaking the advancement and permeation of the performing arts, particularly music and dance, as well as to promote the international exchange of the performing arts in order to contribute to the development of cultural life in Japan.
Through cooperation with various organizations and public institutions, we continue to strive for the vitalization of performance activities both domestic and abroad, and to foster international exchange by the enrichment of artist training and support to artistic organizations, which had been beyond the scope of the private and individual sectors. In recognition of our contribution to the betterment of society through these activities, the Foundation was named a "Designated Organization for the Promotion of Public Interest" by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology.
We would appreciate your support and cooperation as we endeavor to continue to accomplish the above objective through the following activities.

- International exchange pertaining to the performing arts
- The collection of materials and research pertaining to the performing arts
