Background
India and Japan share a friendship that draws strength from the cultural and civilizational ties rooted in historical spiritual affinity. Starting with the eye-opening ceremony of Lord Buddha at Todaiji Temple performed by Bodhisena in 752 AD, it has continued with the contributions of Swami Vivekananda, Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, JRD Tata, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Judge Radha Binod Pal.

When the Tokugawa shogunate grew increasingly weak by the mid-19th century, two powerful clans joined forces in early 1868 to seize power as part of an “imperial restoration” named for Emperor Meiji.” This restoration was the beginning of the end of feudalism, or the way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour, in Japan.
