Empower
Support individuals to make a difference
Providing scholarships to train nurses like Hiroko Haneda in Fukushima after the Great East Japan Earthquake is just of many examples of the scholarships that CWAJ provides:
- For 75 years, CWAJ has supported talented students with scholarships for graduate studies in Japan and abroad.
- For 49 years, we have provided assistance to scholars who are visually impaired.
Enrich
Connect diverse members for sharing and support
At its founding in 1949, American and Japanese women decided that the recent enmity between their two countries did not mean that they could not come together to address societies needs and form friendships. US First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt attended one of CWAJ’s first fundraisers in 1953 in support of that mission. And CWAJ continues to bring women together today for multi-cultural exchange.
Educate
Promote Japanese culture through outreach
From its start in 1956 as a fundraising effort encouraged by publisher Charles Tuttle and Yoseido Gallery’s Abe Yuji, the Print Show quickly gained international attention. In 1972, Dr. Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State to President Richard Nixon, bought four prints. The Print Show today remains notable for its globalism, promotion of sosaku hanga, including young artists, and fundraising to support CWAJ scholarship.
