Please note that space for this shinnenkai event will be limited and reservations are already peaking, so book your tickets soon to ensure a place at Japan’s best networking night.

New Year’s Exhibition: Year of the Snake
Images by 24 Artists
January 6 - January 31, 2025

Happy New Year to all at the FCCJ. Welcome to 2025, the Year of the Snake, which is the sixth year in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. Those born in the Year of the Snake are said to be intelligent, enigmatic, wise and sympathetic. Historical figures born in this particular year include Pablo Picasso, Stephen Hawking, Mahatma Gandhi, JFK, Mao Zedong, J.K. Rowling, Anne Frank and even Taylor Swift. As we continue the struggle with climate change, Japan’s decreasing population, the war in Ukraine, a new president in the White House, a weak yen, and other issues, let's hope that the snake’s intelligence can guide us towards smart solutions.

In celebration of the new year, this January will feature a group exhibition at the FCCJ by artists from around the globe.
