Czech judoka Luk\u00e1\u0161 Krp\u00e1lek became the Olympic champion at the 2021 Olympic Games in&nbsp;Tokyo. The works of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Czech painter Alfons Mucha in the art nouveau style influence the creators of manga comics to&nbsp;this day. Japanese culture itself became a part of Czech culture in many ways, and we cannot imagine modern life without Japanese technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been 20 years since the last visit of Their Majesties Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko to the Czech Republic, and next year we will celebrate 20&nbsp;years of the strategic partnership between our countries. I&nbsp;am glad that also Prime Minister Fumio Kishida knows the Czech Republic personally and we hope to have a chance to welcome him to Czechia again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Czechia and Japan have never been closer.
