Question/Instruction: Can you translate the article into Japanese, considering the focus of the project on promoting cultural understanding between Japan and the US?

Given material: WNET and the Japan Society will announce a joint project today aimed at creating programs about Japan that will be available to all public television stations in the United States. Japanese corporations will be asked to help finance the project, WNET officials said.
The Japan Project, as the new venture is called, is now supported largely by a $200,000 grant from the United States-Japan Foundation of New York, a nonprofit philanthropic organization that began in 1980 with a grant from the Shipbuilding Industry Foundation of Japan. The project will be headed by Peter M. Grilli, an expert on Japan who has been director of film and performing-arts programs at the society since 1975. The Japan Society, based in New York, is an independent organization that seeks to promote cultural understanding between the two nations.
The project is important to public television stations in the United States because it represents the first major collaborative effort in public television by the two countries, and the first time that a consortium of United States public television stations, led by WNET, has attempted to identify and court Japanese television executives and independent film producers as well as corporate sponsors, according to John J. Iselin, president of WNET.
According to Mr. Grilli and Junji Kitadai, vice president of international operations for the Tokyo Broadcasting System, Japanese businessmen see the new project as a way to contribute to their companies' visibility in the United States, as well as to demonstrate to the American public a recognition of their community responsibility.
Two projects that will be considered by the new venture are a close look at Japanese society and how it works and a series on the history of United States and Japanese relationships, Mr. Grilli said. Neither project has financing yet.
The project will be staffed by Mr. Grilli and an assistant in offices at WNET in New York, and supervised by a committee of officials of public television stations, the Public Broadcasting Service and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
