At the same time we inform all high school students in the Republic of Macedonia who are interested in the Eastern Cultures, and all fans of the culture and the tradition of the „Land of The Rising Sun“, that with the enrollment and studying at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology would have the opportunity to acquire knowledge from the physical, social and spiritual culture of Japan.
