Our Mission is to expose students and the community to multiple facets of Japanese culture and to nurture and promote the cultural arts of Japan. We do this by: Exposing students to different aspects of Japanese culture – not just what is seen in movies, TV, and social media. Building improved personal and community relationships through a better understanding of Japan’s rich culture. Offering a meeting place for the community at large to learn about, observe, and participate in Japan-related educational and cultural activities. Featuring local artists and talent. Participation in and a wider appreciation of the history, arts, and crafts of Japan. Access to a forum for the continuation and practice of Japanese art forms performed by traditional artists and artisans. Providing a “Japanese Style” community event for the benefit of students, staff, and community members.
