President's Message


Dear members

We closed September with a Saturday Night Live honoring Sandra Mori and Geoff Tudor, who played key roles in popularizing this event. The club also showed the documentary The Making of a Japanese, held a Book Break with Japan and FCCJ stalwart Bob Whiting, as well as a memorial for Bob Neff and Terry Anderson. We also heard from LDP candidates hoping to be Japan’s next prime minister and hosted a panel on the country’s political horizon.

October Photo Exhibition: The Universe of an Imagination 2024
Photos by Benjamin Lee
September 28 - October 26

For the month of October, the FCCJ will feature the works of well-known Chinese-Canadian photographer and artist Benjamin Lee. Through his portraits of mostly Japanese celebrities, architects and designers, and avant-garde artwork, he is expressing the vitality and creativity of the Japanese people and how quickly they are able to adapt to new things and new ideas, which, as he says, is one main reason why Japan has been so successful in the arts, music, design and fashion.
