At a gallery of one of Japan's best known universities, Waseda University in Tokyo, an exhibition of works by Serbian painter Milan Tucovic and two Japanese artists, Mitsunori Kurashige and Sogo Masanori entitled "Far Away" will be open from 5 to 14 March. On display were also works by Milan Tucovic painted during his stay in Japan.

At a formal opening ceremony in Waseda Gallery on 5 March, Ambassador Nenad Glisic said that he was pleased that exhibitions focusing on Serbian painters' works were being staged, and that he had followed these events since the first exhibition Milan Tucovic had in Japan in 2013. The Ambassador thanked in particular the curator of the exhibition, Professor Yuji Hasemi, who had already sponsored an exhibition of photography and sculptures at the Serbian Embassy in April 2017, as well as expressed thanks to the owner of Steps Gallery, Masami Yoshioka, where an exhibition featuring the same artists entitled "Far Away 2" will take place from 11-20 March.



The artist Milan Tucovic said he was grateful for the warm hospitality he always received there.



The exhibition opening event also included a brief presentation of a tour of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia in May 2019 (Sarajevo, Visegrad, Uvac meanders, Sirogojno, Vrnjacka Banja thermal spa, Novi Sad, Fruska Gora mountain) co-organized by the JTB Group, a Japanese travel agency, and Asahi Cultural Center in cooperation with translator Branka Takahashi.
