Kakehashi 2023

This year I had the opportunity to visit Japan through the Kakehashi Program. The program was sponsored by the Japanese American Citizens League and the Japanese International Cultural Exchange, in order to encourage Japanese Americans to 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 immersed ourselves in cultural exchange to learn about our roots and promote a positive relationship between Japan and the US.
