President's Message

Dear Members: We held an Extraordinary General Membership Meeting in late November and saw the election of Martin Fackler as Kanji and the passage of some key amendments. The Treasurer and I invited Rick Dyck as a special Finance Committee observer, who added insights to matters related to the Club. In these discussions at the meeting and with the General Manager, I am confident that our cash position is not only explicable, but firm as long as the FCCJ continues its current levy and sees the higher initiation income generated so far this year. Do we still have challenges?

December 2024 Exhibition
Kimono Collages: Images by Michiko Kataoka
November 30 - December 26

The FCCJ has something a little different for our December exhibition. For our December exhibition, the FCCJ will pay homage to Japan’s traditional kimono and art world by exhibiting the works by Michiko Kataoka who is presenting her tapestry of collages made from antique kimono fabric. Creating images inspired by fabrics from the Edo period, Kataoka is one of the very few artists who conceive collages based on Ukiyo-e and Bijin-ga paintings of beautiful women.
