Japanese Embassy in Greece

Bridging Greek and Japanese culture, the exhibition "Like Silk" is taking place at the Art of Silk Museum in Soufli, northeastern Greece. Set up by the Corfu Museum of Asian Art and the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation (PIOP) (piop.gr), under the aegis of the Japanese Embassy in Greece, the exhibition offers displays of select antiquities from the museum's collections.

The manga style of comics is linked to Japan, however there’s a growing hub of Thessaloniki-based Mangatellers in Greece. Enough to warrant a publication of manga comics written by Raphael Voutsidis and Karyofyllis-Christos Hatzopoulos and cartoonist Manos Lagouvardos.
