A Gyoseishoshi can provide support to foreign nationals residing in Japan when applying for residence status, work qualifications, business start-ups, or naturalization. The NIC offers free over-the-counter guidance on these types of matters to help foreigners who may be having difficulty with certain procedures or paperwork or simply need a few queries cleared up. Official matters can pose a challenge even in one’s native tongue at times, so it can particularly be difficult at times in a country such as Japan, where usual western conventions are replaced with their local equivalents. We are here to help. Immigration and Visa Related Matters Since 1989 Gyoseishoshi have been authorized by the government to represent foreign nationals in immigration-related documentation procedures. They can assist you with certificate of eligibility applications, change of status of residence applications, extension of period of stay applications, permanent residence applications, and certificate of authorized employment applications. They can also assist in other procedures: International marriage procedures Procedures to obtain operating permission for the construction industry, industrial waste operation, antique dealing, and other industries Business establishment and incorporation procedures Documentation of Inter-corporate contracts Consultations related to inheritance, wills, and other related matters Be sure to check out our website www.nic-nagoya.or.jp or follow and like us on Twitter and Facebook or sign up to our e-mail magazine via our website to receive all the latest event and community information.

Railroads were constructed, western-style buildings were built, and Japan transformed into a modern state under numerous impacts from Western civilization. Likewise, the energy born of the impact from encounters with Western art would change Japanese painting immensely. Meanwhile, Westerners arriving in Japan at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and during the Meiji period, surprised at the art in the lifestyle and extraordinary ideas of the Japanese, would be intrigued by this wonderland of Japan. This exhibition explores the mutual impact, both of the West on Japan and of Japan on the West, occurring in an age of upheaval, through works from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Tokyo University of the Arts, whose collections are significant to the dialogue on modern Japanese art. Featuring around 150 pieces including paintings, Nishiki-e colored woodblock prints, crafts and photographs, the exhibition focuses on the beauty of Meiji period Japan.
