Hiroshima International Animation Festival is a biennial manifestation held in Hiroshima City in August, endorsed by Association Internationale du Film d'Animation (ASIFA). Under the spirit of LOVE & PEACE, the festival has been dedicating to the advancement of visual media art culture in general, by promoting international cross-cultural exchanges through the development of animation art.

Animation in Japan is known as one of the best one in the world. I have noticed that many of foreigner start learning Japanese or becoming interested in Japan is because they inspired by Japanese Animation.
