We have just concluded the first round of our elections for FCCJ directors and kanji, and I would like to thank everyone who ran for office, the election committee who oversaw the ballot and “speak out” night, as well as to those leaving the board. We were able to fill all of the regular positions, but did not reach the voting threshold to fill the associate member positions, and thus must hold a new election solely for that purpose, and then that board will elect new officers. Until then, a caretaker board will remain, and a new e-ballot will be sent shortly with the names of the associate candidates and date of the Extraordinary General Membership Meeting.

In August 2025, the FCCJ will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with an exhibition by Hiromi Tsuchida titled, "Hiroshima Trilogy: People, Landscape, Objects."
With works displayed in the collections of museums in Japan as well as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Tate Modern, and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Tsuchida has meticulously documented items and monuments for over 6 decades that show how the atomic bombings instantly destroyed everyday life. Each photograph is associated with text that tells a story of life, devastation and recovery.
