About the Exhibition
The exhibition presents the long-standing and continuous cooperation between the maritime nations of Greece and Japan. The Maru exhibition presents the distinctive relationship between Greek-owned shipping and the Japanese shipbuilding industry, as recorded in the pages of Naftika Chronika magazine, narrating its evolution into a successful cycle of cooperation, trust and mutual assistance.

The Maru exhibition visualizes aspects of this history by utilizing the wealth of archival material as well as authentic objects from the golden age of Greek-Japanese cooperation: ship models, business gifts and tokens of friendship will be presented within Amalias 36, showcasing a unique and still-standing collaboration.
