Our organization is a self-supporting entity (through the participation of our members and the profits from our events) but we proudly work directly with other local organizations throughout the city. The JCS is open to anyone and everyone who wants to know Japan without knowing Japanese ... to learn about 'culture' without necessarily being of 'the culture'. We stress our outreach to those who have an interest in the Japanese culture. They enjoy the cuisine and activities associated with the Land of the Rising Sun.
