2019 - 13th Annual Japan Day - Central Park (Sunday) - Understanding & Appreciation of Japanese CultureNEW

Since Japan Day @ Central Park first started in 2007, we have been delighted at how quickly this new tradition has captured the interest of New Yorkers with the official support of the Consulate-General of Japan in New York, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New York, The Nippon Club and many corporations. We are proud of the praise Japan Day has garnered New Yorkers from every walk of life, former Park Commissioner Adrian Benepe, and even Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said Japan Day has become an eagerly anticipated cultural event on the city's calendar. We are in the process of working out the details of the event, placing the emphasis on enjoyable activities that will deepen participants' understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture.

Background
Japan Day @ Central Park is scheduled for Sunday

The event was designed by the Japanese community of New York with three missions in mind: 1) to promote deeper understanding of Japanese Culture, 2) to say "Thank you, New York!" for providing such a nurturing home to America's largest Japanese Community, and 3) to strengthen relationships within the Japanese grassroots community.
