International Music Network
Through close communications with global music institutions and conservatories, Nippon Music Foundation aims to further develop international networks of music. The Foundation hopes to utilize such networks to support the making of new stringed instruments, to promote technical exchanges for the repair and conservation of stringed instruments, to hold symposia, and to support international music events and competitions.
Surveys and Researches
Nippon Music Foundation conducts basic surveys and studies to foster public interest in music. The Foundation collects materials related to music including books, printed matter and recordings for the future establishment of a music information library.
