Japan Society in New York City is the leading U.S. organization dedicated to fostering mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the United States and Japan. Established in 1907 and housed in a landmark building designed by Japanese architect Junzo Yoshimura, the Society offers over 100 annual events spanning art exhibitions, performances, language classes, public policy discussions, and business forums. A key highlight is its robust film program, featuring year-round screenings and the renowned JAPAN CUTS festival—the largest showcase of contemporary Japanese cinema in North America. With a mission rooted in the Japanese concept of kizuna (絆), or deep connection, Japan Society continues to serve as a global hub for artists, scholars, and audiences seeking to explore the depth and richness of Japanese culture.
