Kakehashi 2023
This year I had the opportunity to visit Japan through the Kakehashi Program, a program sponsored by the Japanese American Citizens League and the Japanese International Cultural Exchange, aimed towards helping Japanese Americans learn more about our cultural heritage. Over a week we traveled to Tokyo, Nagoya, and Gifu Prefecture, where we met with Japanese political leaders and did cultural exchanges to learn about our cultural roots and promote a positive relationship between Japan and the US.
