The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is strengthening its support for improving accessibility to the arts for people with disabilities.

The Japanese capital is offering subsidies to arts organizations that introduce measures to help people with visual or hearing difficulties enjoy art, such as brochures written in Braille and sign language interpretation.

The initiative was introduced after Tokyo was selected in 2022 to host the Deaflympics for the first time. The 12-day sporting event, known as the Olympics for people with hearing difficulties, took place in November last year.
