GREETINGS

Columbia Japan Society was founded in order to introduce aspects of Japanese culture to members of the Columbia community. In the past years, we have held annual events such as Sushi Night, Curry in a Hurry, Movie Night, and Matsuri (Japanese Festival), as well as new events each year.

You do NOT need to be Japanese to join CJS – all you need is an interest in anything Japanese! We are actively looking for new members and creative event ideas, so let us know if you would like to be part of the CJS family. Welcome to Columbia Japan Society!
