Logo

    The logo for the 30th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations between Japan and Georgia consists of a pattern of the Japanese and Georgian national flags as well as a Japanese sake cup and a Georgian kantsi. It represents a toast between Japan and Georgia, and between the people of Japan and Georgia to celebrate the 30th anniversary. The tops of Mt. Fuji and Caucasus mountains are also superimposed on the image.
 The logo will be used as a symbol of the 30th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations between Japan and Georgia in various events and publicity materials in 2022.
