During his session, "Vision for Kyoto–India Collaboration," Mr. Masatsugu shared valuable insights on fostering stronger partnerships between Kyoto and India through innovation, entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and sustainable business cooperation. His inspiring vision emphasized the opportunities that emerge when both nations collaborate for mutual growth.

Following the session, Mr. Onkar Bari, Vice President – Membership, Indo-Japan Business Council (IJBC), presented a token of appreciation and the India–Japan Relations commemorative publication to Mr. Kuno Masatsugu in recognition of his valuable contribution to the conference.

He didn't have to speak in Hindi. He chose to.

At the 5th India–Japan Business Conference 2026, Mr. Katsunori Ashida — Acting Consul General of Japan in Kolkata — surprised the room by addressing them in Hindi. It wasn't a formality. It was a statement about how seriously he takes the relationship between our two countries.

In this exclusive interview with Prathmesh Pratap Singh, Executive – Communications & Outreach, Indo-Japan Business Council (IJBC), Mr. Ashida gets candid about:

🔹 Why language — not just policy — is the real bridge between India and Japan
🔹 His personal message to India's youth building careers connected to Japan
🔹 The shared strengths that make this partnership genuinely unique

This is diplomacy, unscripted.

Recorded at The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry Kolkata, hosted by the Indo-Japan Business Council in association with the Consulate General of Japan in Kolkata.

🇮🇳🤝🇯🇵 Craft, Culture & Co-Creation: Kyoto Meets India

At the 5th India–Japan Business Conference 2026 in Kolkata, Mr. Masatsugu Kuno — Managing Director, Atelier Japan / Showyou Co.,Ltd — spoke with IJBC's Prathmesh Pratap Singh on bringing Kyoto's centuries-old craft traditions into co-creation with India.

🔹 Why Japan's shrinking domestic craft market is pushing Kyoto's artisans to look abroad — and why India specifically
🔹 Why the next decade should move beyond manufacturing into genuine artisan co-creation
🔹 How Indian and Japanese craftspeople share materials and techniques, yet approach creation completely differently
🔹 The cultural and business-custom gaps still standing between Japanese companies and Indian artisans
🔹 Why Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are all on Kyoto's radar as India entry points

Recorded at The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry ,Kolkata, hosted by the Indo-Japan Business Council.
