President's Message

November 2025
Dear members,
We are in a historic era. Japan now has its first female prime minister and Masayuki Watanabe, an FCCJ director, last month became the Club’s secretary. In his first term on the Board, Watanabe-san provided a wealth of support to the Club, and taking on this new role is just another example of his broad service and dedication to our organization. We greatly appreciate his efforts and those of all our volunteer directors, kanji, and committee chairs.

Dec. 2025 Exhibition Part 1
Urgent Special Photo Exhibition by Fatima Hassouna 
November 29 - December 5, 2025

“If I die, I want a loud death!”
"Now is the time to photograph this war and show it to the world.  
We need to document all the suffering. Who else can do that?” Fatima Hassouna 

To be displayed for one week from November 29th to December 5th, this photo exhibition will be held ahead of the release of the documentary ‘Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk’ about Fatima Hassouna, a young female photojournalist who took photographs in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, until she was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Unable to leave Gaza, Fatima continued to report on the situation from the besieged region via her smartphone, capturing images of the city's residents who thrive despite the airstrikes, hunger, and anxiety.
