President's Message

November 2025
Dear members,
We are in a historic era. Japan now has its first female prime minister and Masayuki Watanabe, an FCCJ director, last month became the Club’s secretary. In his first term on the Board, Watanabe-san provided a wealth of support to the Club, and taking on this new role is just another example of his broad service and dedication to our organization. We greatly appreciate his efforts and those of all our volunteer directors, kanji, and committee chairs.

Nov. 2025 Exhibition Part 2

The Fantastic World of Cosplay
Photos by Nicole Bozzao - featuring Cosplayer ‘Queen Fenix’
November 8 - 28, 2025

This month's photo exhibition, titled "The Fantastic World of Cosplay," may be unfamiliar to many, but it is a niche artistic market that is growing rapidly internationally. And Japan is at the forefront of that niche. Photographer Nicole Bozzao is a native of Venice who started out as a fashion photographer, capturing stunning images of mothers-to-be and newborns. Prior to coming to Japan in 2022, she also photographed European cosplayers throughout Italy. The photos on display here are as cross-section of her cosplay work in Japan and Italy. In this exhibition, Bozzao features American actress, model, and cosplayer Queen Fenix. Known as a martial artist living in Japan, Fenix's tall and agile physique, and exotic and expressive cosplay, have earned her popularity in Japan and overseas as well.
