We are a society dedicated to spreading and celebrating Japanese culture in the United Kingdom.
Each Wednesday from 6:15-7:15, the society hosts a weekly event. The most frequent event is the conversation class, the aim of these classes are to get non Japanese people to start speaking the language, but also strengthen their use of the language, all whilst having fun at the same time. The classes are split up into three groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced. The classes not only provide non Japanese students with a way of learning the language but also provide Japanese students with a place to hang about, socialise and talk with others.
The society also hosts a variety of other events including the annual Matsuri, the occasional Sushi party, Karaoke nights, Origami nights and Calligraphy events. These are events aimed at introducing people at York University to the lifestyle and culture of Japan. These past events have been very successful with large turnouts and we hope to host these events in the future.
We have also taken part in the Cultural Performance and Food Fiesta hosted by the ISA as part of global week. We have been successful in both of these events, in particular coming first place in the Cultural Performance for the past two years running. we hope to continue this success in the future.
