The various agencies that promote the language and culture of Japan in this country can only survive because of the generosity of Japanese businesses. Daiwa Securities has been a major benefactor, contributing Pounds 20 million to establish an Anglo-Japanese Foundation. Although most of the foundation’s educational budget is devoted to the university sector, it sometimes offers financial help to schools engaged in exchange visits. It also provides a free information service to anyone searching for facts and figures about the country.
