Known issues
Video Content
We provide captions and sign language (prerecorded) for the audio information included in videos so that our audience can understand our videos even in circumstances where it is not possible to hear the audio or play the audio out loud.The accessibility of content on the Nippon Foundation official website, however, is insufficient in some areas.
Exceptions
The following items are deemed exceptions owing to the difficulty of meeting the success criteria as of June 2022:
- Graphics content for which the original data no longer exists (and therefore cannot be modified)
- Video content
- Some content in PDF format
- Some content provided by external services
