On March 19, Min-On Concert Association President Koji Yamaguchi welcomed Humile Mashatile, the spouse of Deputy President Paul Mashatile of the Republic of South Africa, to the Min-On Culture Center in Tokyo.
In their meeting, Mrs. Mashatile pointed to Min-On founder Daisaku Ikeda’s meeting with Nelson Mandela after his release from a South African prison as being pivotal to cultural exchange programs between her country and Japan.
She added that she looked very much forward to similar initiatives in the future to further strengthen bilateral friendship. Following their talk, Mrs. Mashatile toured the classic pianos and music boxes in the Min-On Music Museum’s collection.
