Abstract	Presented at a seminar on Resources for Educational Exchange with Japan, this paper emphasizes the closeness of the ties between Japan and the United States and the importance of the educational and cultural dimensions of the relationship. An historical treatment of the relationship between the two countries since 1872 points out the rapid change of imagery each country has for the other. The changes were mainly due to Japan's rapid economic and political growth. For example, the American impression of Japan changed three times in the 1960s. First, friendly Japan supplied products to the United States, then prosperous Japan economically threatened the United States when it experienced economic strain, and finally Japan was weakened when cut off from the U.S. market during the oil crisis. During the period of recent calm in this economically interdependent relationship, cooperation and joint efforts must be planned for dealing with future world problems. The imbalance of the educational and cultural dimensions of the relationship demands equalization. For instance, media and television in Japan are greatly concerned with what is happening in the United States, whereas the media in the United States pays little attention to Japan. Likewise, many Japanese students attend American schools and return to Japan knowledgeable about the United States, but few American students become so involved in Japan to learn the Japanese language.
