About the logo of JALTAP

JALTAP’s Logo is designed by Dr. Hari Damle.
Its outer circle represents the world. The petals of lotus which represent India are interwoven to form the shape of an open book. The red spot represents the rising sun which is the symbol of Japan. Thus, the Logo as a whole symbolizes establishing cultural exchange and cooperation between India and Japan through Japanese Language Education.

About JALTAP
