An exhibition titled Dialogue with Contemporary Japanese Art was launched at the China Cultural Center in Tokyo on June 27, marking the 45th anniversary of the normalization of China-Japan diplomatic ties and the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.

The exhibition features 24 pieces of art including paintings, wood prints and art installations. They were created by 12 artists from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Japan.

"Japanese contemporary art is favored by a lot of Chinese. But people from the two countries haven't known enough about each other in this field," Shi Yongjing, director of the China Cultural Center in Tokyo, said at the opening ceremony.

"The China Cultural Center is very willing to create more opportunities for artists from China and Japan to show their works and exchange ideas."

To mark the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, the center has also displayed artworks by Hong Kong artists for the first time.

The exhibition runs until July 7.
