Pan Asian Outreach

Fostering Pan Asian pride per mandate of Okakura Tenshin & Yamada Nagamasa in the spirit of the Shogun

The first Samurai to bring Japanese culture worldwide was Okakura Tenshin who famously said Asia is One and brought the Samurai tradition to India to Asia's first Nobel Laureate Tagore. Similarly, on orders of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Yamada Nagamasa, a former Zen Buddhist monk turned Samurai brought the bushido to Thailand and became the Governor in Ayuthayya which is a hallmark of Japan-Thai diplomacy. In the same spirit, Ronin Soho has launched APAC or Association for the Preservation of Asian Culture to promote cultural ties between Japan and other Asian nations from Thailand to Korea. In fact, the 2 greatest architects of Japanese civilization - Prince Shotoku and the Tokugawa Shogunate wanted diplomatic ties between Japan and Korea. This is also a priority of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and President Lee Jae-myung. Therefore APAC is based in Gangnam -- the most prestigious location in Korea which enables us to promote Asian pride worldwide via the Hallyu wave that dominates the worlds of pop music, film, fashion and Netflix.
