Exhibition Collections


The following exhibitions are available for use by any interested organization within the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. There is no cost for their use; however, the borrowing organization is responsible for all shipping costs incurred. No insurance is required. All of the items, with the exception of the photograph exhibitions, are handmade and therefore irreplaceable. As these collections are popular, we encourage you to make a reservation as early as possible by completing the Application for Loan of Exhibition. For more information, call the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta at 404-240-4300. Our facsimile number is 404-240-4311.
