For those who don't speak Nynorsk, Jon Fosse's Nobel Prize lecture is available in an English translation here.

"In a way it was as if the fear took my language from me, and that I had to take it back, so to speak."

Mr Masud Gharahkhani, President of the🇳🇴Parliament, started his visit to Japan in Hiroshima. The city and the peace museum, where he met atomic bomb survivor Ogura Keiko, made a strong impression at a time where some again make threats to use nuclear weapons. @NorwayinJapan

A great pleasure to present to Ms Yamase Rio the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit. An artist, teacher and communicator, she creates cultural bonds between 🇳🇴and 🇯🇵, spreading Norwegian folk music in Japan and making the Hardanger 🎻fiddle sing for us! @NorwayinJapan @rioyamase

International House in Tokyo celebrates its 70 years and has made a nice (English language) film about its three groundbreaking architects. One of them was Yoshimura Junzo, who later designed our beautiful 🇳🇴Embassy in Tokyo! @NorwayinJapan @I_House_Japan

This impressive report is written and illustrated by a schoolboy in Saitama prefecture, presenting Norwegian culture, society, economy and more in a wonderful way! We at the 🇳🇴Embassy thank him and his teacher warmly for sharing it with us. @NorwayinJapan

Did you know that a Norwegian was among the first 🍺brewers in Japan? Johan Thoresen from Arendal came to Japan as William Copeland after a stint in the US. His “Spring Valley Brewery”, founded in 1869, was eventually taken over by Kirin. His grave is in Yokohama. @NorwayinJapan

[Kristin Iglum @NorAmbTokyo]

Great meeting with Mr Fujiki of Yokohama Port Authority! We visited the dock where 12 September 2022 #StatsraadLehmkuhl will arrive after crossing the Pacific Ocean on its #OneOceanExpedition. The ship left 🇳🇴 in August and is now somewhere in the Caribbean....@NorwayinJapan

[Kristin Iglum @NorAmbTokyo]

At the 26th International Conference for Women in Business, the 🇳🇴 quota system for listed company boards was explained by ch. d’aff. Line Aune. The system has inspired many and has demonstrated that well qualified women are not that difficult to find - anywhere! @NorwayinJapan
