FCCJ's 70th Anniversary
Photo exhibition from Club Archives
Oct 3 - Nov 6, 2015
FCCJ Main Bar
Seventy years since its birth, the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan represents a crucial testimony to the growth of postwar Japan. The Club was founded in 1945 among the rubble of Tokyo after Japan's surrender to the Allied Forces that ended World War ll. During the past decades the organization has hosted top-notch journalists who have told the world some of the most critical stories in history. They have covered among other important landmarks, the International War Crimes Tribunal, followed by Japan's miracle recovery that is marked with its embrace of a democratic Constitution and global markets.
This exhibition features Pulitzer Prize winners, politicians, novelists, and other world famous guests. On the social front, photos and anecdotes reporting the dramatic changes in postwar Japan and other images that symbolize the energetic spirit born under Japan's new democratic peace Constitution.
Please enjoy the exhibition as you drink a toast to the FCCJ on its seventieth anniversary and wish this tremendous organization many more decades to come.
