The "BROKEN PROMISES" exhibition, a domestic traveling exhibition in Japan, had a showing in the south-side, first-floor corridor of Building No. 1 at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS).

This exhibition was jointly presented by Scientific Funding Basic Research Program B "Regionally Rooted Public History Formation for Purposes of Fostering the Next Generation via Emigrant History" by KUFS Professor Sachiko Kawakami of the Department of Global Tourism, Faculty of Global Engagement, and by Doshisha University International Institute of American Studies Departmental Research Project 3, "Transient Subjects/Unsettled Settlers."

Visitors were also able to view an exhibition by the student-run Soyokaze Group, which pursues activities based on a comprehensive agreement between KUFS and the Town of Mihama-cho in Wakayama Prefecture. Their exhibition presented information on ties between Mihama-cho and the University as well as information on emigrant research. In addition, another exhibition was available for viewing: the "Mitsuo Traditional Architecture and Emigrants to Canada" exhibition by the Noriko Matsuda Laboratory at Kyoto Prefectural University.
