Anime, Manga, Sushi, Teriyaki, J-pop, Harajuku fashion ... these
are just some of the cultural exports from Japan that the rest of
the world have embraced and Singapore is one of Japan's biggest
fans. Singaporeans have benefited not just by being a consumer of
the many technological advances from Japan (Mitsubishi, Toyota,
Honda, Panasonic, and Sony to name a few) but also shared and
learnt through economic, political, and intellectual exchanges over
the past 50 years since the start of the bilateral ties between
these two nations.In 1868, Japan was the first East Asian country
that underwent rapid modernization and its development was shared
with Singapore from the 1970s onwards as the Japanese growth model
was selectively emulated by the Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong,
Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan). Currently, as the most
advanced economies in Southeast and Northeast Asia respectively,
Singapore and Japan will continue to be demonstrative case studies
of economic development in the region. There are similarities too
between these two countries: an aging population, changing
geopolitical realities, mature economies, and environmental
challenges. The Merlion and Mt. Fuji is not just a historical
account of the bilateral cooperation but also includes honest
narratives on what it is like being a Singaporean student on
exchange in Japan, an anime and manga fan outside of Japan, and
some omotenashi appreciation.
