Japanese Institute of Culture, Cultural institution in Valle Giulia, Rome, Italy
The Japanese Institute of Culture occupies a building that combines reinforced concrete with wooden surfaces and includes a Japanese garden with a pond and waterfall.
The building was inaugurated in 1962 and designed by architect Yoshida Isoya, who incorporated elements from the Heian architectural period of 9th-12th century Japan.
The institute maintains a library containing over 32,000 volumes, hundreds of magazines, 2,500 microfilms, and an extensive collection of traditional and modern Japanese music.
The institute offers Japanese language courses at multiple levels, from beginner to intermediate, with official certification through the Nihongo Noryoku Shiken examination.
Located near the National Gallery of Modern Art, the institute features a brutalist architectural design that integrates Japanese traditional elements with modern construction methods.
