◆ Shuntaro Tanikawa (Poet)［Japan］
Shuntaro Tanikawa has relentlessly crafted poetry over the nearly 70 years since he published his
first anthology, Two Billion Light Years of Solitude, in 1952. His works are noted for their breadth of style,
ranging from nursery rhymes to poems that convey the profound joy, sorrow, and other emotions
at the heart of the human experience. His creative pursuits encompass diverse genres such as
poetry, lyrics, scripts, picture books, children s stories, and essays. Many of his works have been
used as study material for Japanese-language learners, including Word Games: Nonsense Pictures and
Rhymes, which can help learners gain a sense for the distinctive rhythm and sound of Japanese, and
poems like To Live that tackle universal subjects in plain language. His poetry has been translated
into more than 20 languages, including English and Chinese, helping to shrink the cultural distance
between Japan and the world. In this way his activities have had an enormous impact.
【Shuntaro Tanikawa Profile】
Born in Tokyo in 1931. Poet. His first poetry collection Two Billion Light‐Years of Solitude was published
in 1952. He received numerous awards including a Japan Record Awards Best Lyricist Award for
Songs for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in 1962, a Japan Translation

◆ Association of Indonesian Alumni From Japan (PERSADA)［Indonesia］
The Association of Indonesian Alumni From Japan (PERSADA) was founded in 1963 by a group of
mainly Indonesians who previously studied in Japan. Today, it has around 8,000 members, making
it an enormous association of former international students to Japan, and engages in many
meaningful activities in its role as a bridge between Indonesia and Japan. In 1986, PERSADA and
the Indonesia-Japan Friendship Association led the founding of Darma Persada University (DPU),
a private institution. Since then, DPU has produced many talents who themselves became bridges
between the two countries. Through such activities, PERSADA has been a nexus of exchange
connecting Japan and Indonesia, and going forward it promises to continue being a central force
for friendly exchange between not only both countries, but also with the other members of ASEAN.
