Институт Славянского мира
Institute of the Slavic World
Institute of the Slavic World (Tokyo) was established in July 2022 as the division of Erico Communications Inc. dealing with Ukrainian and other Slavic languages and Eastern European countries, and has built up a strong and extensive personal network with Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. It has a track record of providing excellent communication services such as translation and interpretation to Japanese companies, government agencies, research institutes, media companies and individuals interested in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, as well as providing coordination services in the fields of trade, arts and culture. It highlights their uniqueness.
Firstly, the Institute of the Slavic World (Tokyo) conducts fieldwork and academic analysis and research in collaboration with local researchers and journalists in these countries and reports to clients in Japan (e.g. government and academic institutions).
In addition, in cooperation with embassies in Japan, the Institute of the Slavic World plans and coordinates international projects (art, literature, sports, etc.) to convey the uniqueness of each language and culture, such as Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, etc., to Japan, and at the same time to convey the uniqueness of Japan to these countries, thereby contributing to building a bridge between clients and between people for mutual understanding and sharing of values necessary for peace.
Мы укрепляем дружественные отношения между Японией и восточноевропейскими и славянскими страными.
In August 2025, at the request of Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation (Osaka), Masato Kawazu (Masato Lyagushkin-Davyzhava, interpreter, Chief Researcher) made a contribution by providing Ukrainian translation for an exclusive interview with Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine, who visited Japan, to participate in the Ukraine National Day at the Osaka Expo - 2025.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, the Embassy of Ukraine in Japan, and the Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Kobe for allowing us to take a part in the production of this program and for their cooperation with the interviews.
