Japanese term or phrase: Kokusai Bunka Kenshu
this revised version was published in Kokusai Bunka Kenshu (Intercultural Exchange). No other relevant context.

I am translating the document from English into Russian but I need some help from Japanese colleagues. In proper Russian I can not give the name of the edition without specifying the type of it - a magazine, a journal, a newspaper, etc. For example, [in "The Time" magazine, not just in "The Time"]. Maybe one of those words in the title "hides" the explanation? In other words, what type of publication is this?

I would also appreciate the translation of this entire title even though I was asked to leave it and the likes in the bibliography section "as is". Thank you very much.

I just wanted to add that this magazine is published by the \"Japan Intercultural Academy of Municipalities\" (JIAM), 4 times a year.
By the way, in your question, the (Intercultural Exchange) in the brackets may very well be the translation of the title the magazine prefers to use.

Th website of JIAM is www.jiam.jp. Unfortunately, the English part of the site does not contain any information regarding the magazine, only the Japanese pages do.

Training in International Culture = Intercultural Exchange


Explanation:
Kokusai Bunka Kenshuu means Training/Course in International Culture, but it seems the group has adjusted this to a more natural-sounding 'Intercultural Exchange' for their dealings in English. According to the following website, it is a 'magazine', rather than a journal, newspaper, or other type of publication. Here is the actual home page of the magazine, complete with photos of some of their past publications.
