Vietnam’s exports to Japan in the first quarter this year showed a sharp increase of 65 percent over the same period last year. 

 This was put down by Vietnamese ambassador to Japan Doan Xuan Hung to a large turnover from fine art and handicraft products.

Other high export earners included bamboo items (US$4.5 million), porcelain and ceramics (more than US$21.5 million) and wood furniture (US$120 million)
