Japanese Culture Fundraiser

On 11th March 2011, a disaster unlike any seen in modern times swept across Japan, claiming almost 20,000 lives and creating over 300,000 refugees in the Tohoku region. Among these were 236 children who lost everything – their homes and their family all in one day.

On the 3rd July 2017, Aid For Japan in partnership with the Japan International Cultural Exchange Foundation (JICEF) and Japanese dojo Battodo Fudokan will be staging a Japanese Culture event in London to raise awareness of the charity and also raise funds.

This event will introduce several Japanese cultural arts, including a demonstration of Kendo (Japanese fencing) by JICEF members, a demonstration of Tanden-Tanren (Abdominal Core Training) by Battodo Fudokan, Japanese food, Zen meditation, the art of the kimono and the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony.

All proceeds will go to Aid for Japan, and entrance includes a rice ball (onigiri) and Japanese sweet (dorayaki).
