In the midst of many of my celebrations, I had the opportunity to meet some of the best personalities. "They are from Japan, but they have great affection and love for India. One of them is Hiroshi Koike Ji, who is a well-known art director. You will be very happy to know that he has directed the Mahabharata project. The project was started in Cambodia and has been continuing continuously for the last nine years.''

He travels to a country in Asia every year and produces parts of the Mahabharata with local artists and musicians there. Through this project, he has produced in 9 countries including India, Cambodia and Indonesia and has also given stage performances. Hiroshi Koike brings together artists who have a diverse backgrounds in classical and traditional Asian performing arts. Due to this, different colours are seen in their work.''

The company belongs to the Japanese animation film of Ramayana, which was released in 1993. "The dedication of the people sitting in Japan, thousands of kilometres away from us, who know neither our language, who know our language, who know as much about our practices, their dedication to our culture, this reverence, this respect, is very commendable. Who wouldn't be proud of this?''
