Kolkata, Feb 10 (IANS) The Japanese consulate here will display audio-visuals of the nation's traditions for the students of a school in West Bengal Thursday to generate awareness about the East Asian country.

"Officials from the Consulate General of Japan in Kolkata will present various programmes which include a quiz contest to generate awareness about Japan and a video to showcase schools and traditional cultures in Japan.
