Japan Society Board of Directors

* Denotes member of the Executive Committee ** Denotes Honorary Director —As of June 30, 2011

Japan Society is the leading U.S. organization committed to deepening mutual understanding between the United States and Japan in a global

context. Now in its second century, the Society serves audiences across the United States and abroad through innovative programs in arts and

culture, public policy, business, language and education.

2 Japan Society Annual Report 2010–11

3

On the morning of March 11, 2011, as Japan Society staff convened an emergency meet-

ing to launch a special earthquake relief fund, we never imagined the scale of global

support that would follow. In the six months since the Great East Japan Earthquake, a

total of some ¥17.5 billion in donations have flowed to Japan from around the world.

Japan Society is contributing to Japan’s relief and recovery through generous donations

made by friends and supporters to our Japan Earthquake Relief Fund, which we launched

on March 12, 2011. While keeping most of our regularly planned programming in place,

we also hosted CONCERT FOR JAPAN, a day-long benefit for earthquake recovery. In

addition, 50 percent of all ticket and admission sales to Japan Society events made

from March 14–June 30, 2011, including our exhibition Bye Bye Kitty!!! Between Heaven

and Hell in Japanese Contemporary Art, were donated to our Fund. Many organizations

and groups have made our Fund the beneficiary of their own fundraising efforts.

The outpouring of response from across the world has been enormous, heartwarming

and extraordinary. For that, we thank you, one and all.

I am also pleased to report that the Japan Society building at 333 East 47th Street

has been designated New York City’s youngest landmark. Completed in 1971, our

building was designed by the architects Junzo Yoshimura and George G. Shimamoto.

“Yoshimura produced a serene work that spoke to Japan’s aspirations at the time and

reflected the nation’s contemporary architectural design trends,” Robert B. Tierney,

Chairman of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, noted at the

time of the announcement. A wonderful birthday present, this landmark designation

comes on the 40th anniversary of the completion of our building.

As Japan moves forward with recovery—a process expected to last five years or more—

the Society will continue to support reconstruction through our Japan Earthquake Relief

Fund as long as resources are available. Our own supporters and audiences will see

Japan’s changing landscape reflected in our programming, especially in the economic,

social and political arenas, and most of all in the work of our Corporate Program and

the U.S.-Japan Innovators Network, which continues to be instrumental in identifying

and vetting Fund recipients.

The following pages present highlights of our 2010–11 season, including gallery exhibi-

tions, performing arts, film, lectures, corporate and policy programs, education events

and language classes, as well as additional information on the Japan Earthquake Relief

Fund and special events such as the Japan Society Annual Dinner and the CONCERT

FOR JAPAN (a complete 2010–11 chronology is available as a separate publication).

Last but not least, we acknowledge our many supporters and funders who have made

all of this possible.

I look forward to your continued support and active participation in the months ahead.

On March 12, 2011, Japan Society created the Japan

Earthquake Relief Fund, a disaster relief fund with one

hundred percent of the contributions going to aid victims

of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Since its launch,

the Fund has received $10.48 million from nearly 22,000

donors, including individuals, foundations and corporations.

As of July 2011, Japan Society had disbursed or earmarked

$3.1 million to nine nonprofit organizations on the front

lines of relief and recovery in Tohoku, with a focus on

immediate relief, healthcare, including mental healthcare,

and the needs of children. These organizations are:

AFS Intercultural Programs JapanCare Center YawaragiETICJapanese Medical Society of AmericaJapan NPO CenterJapan Primary Care AssociationJENSupporting Union for Practical-Use of Educational ResourcesTokyo Volunteer Network for Disaster Relief

Japan’s recovery is expected to take five years or more.

With this in mind, Japan Society is working to gauge the

long-term needs of those affected by the disaster with

the goal of supporting organizations that will contribute

to longer term recovery and reconstruction in Japan.

Japan Society is grateful to all those who so generously

supported the people of Japan in their time of need.
