The Association Jungian of Japan (AJAJ) was responsible for the congress organization. It took place at the International Centre in Kyoto, which provided not only excellent technical conditions to give lectures and talks, but  also organized an interesting cultural program which introduced Japanese culture to the visitors from Europe and America. There were demonstrations of traditional Japanese puppet theater, movies, zen meditation, calligraphy and origami lessons and art exhibition. For those interested, organizers provided additional tours around Japan.

All congress materials were published on-line in English, which is a very good new habit, and we hope that this new tradition will continue.
