President's Message

Dear members,

Just days after Japan's lower house elections and less than a week before the U.S. chooses a new president, the uncertainty surrounding both votes is palpable. We are hosting a viewing of the U.S. election results at the club on Wednesday November 6, and hoping that Japanese opposition party leaders visit to detail their plans for a coalition government later this month. The FCCJ is where news is made, so expect more speakers and analysis in a very consequential month ahead.

Since 1992, she has been photographing the Ainu people across Japan with the hope of "being an accompanist" for their cause and culture. She began photographing the Ainu people when she saw an article about the construction of a dam on sacred Ainu land in Hokkaido, and has continued shooting ever since.
