FSC provides a variety of Japanese cultural programs for foreign students, former FSC students and mentors. In 2023, FSC organized the following events:
- Walking tour. In April, we took a guided tour of Enoshima in Kanagawa Prefecture where we enjoyed the landscape while learning about the history of the area.
- Kimono program. In June, we spent the day with a kimono expert who brought many casual cotton yukatas, obi belts, and beautiful silk furisode long-sleeve kimono. Students had the opportunity to wear the kimono and view antique items for kimono, such as Kanzashi hair accessories.
- Kabuki theater. In July, we learned about kabuki and saw the play, Hikimado (Sliding Window).
- CWAJ Print Show and Ohta Memorial Museum program. In October, ten FSC members enjoyed the beautiful prints as well as the Hands-on Art exhibition at the CWAJ Print Show. Kiyosumi Gardens tour. In November, we had a guided tour of Kiyosumi Gardens, complete with a picnic lunch. Afterward, we visited the Fukagawa Edo Museum.
