Welcome to the Japanese Culture Institute
The Japanese Culture Institute is a non-profit corporation established in McHenry County,
Illinois as an educational center for the study of Japanese
culture.
Since 2008, the Institute has provided
thousands in our community with educational programs,
classes, lectures, retreats and training for all ages and
has been successful in building a spirit of cooperation and
harmony among people of various cultures.
Members and visitors of the Institute have
experienced the many benefits of the study of Japanese
culture, have enhanced their contacts and have made many new
friends. Families have found the Institute to be a great
place to learn and to spend time together.
Working with other businesses and
coordinating events and programs with other organizations
provides an opportunity to grow and emphasizes the
commonality of the human experience.
We offer classes in traditional studies such as tea ceremony, calligraphy, martial
arts such as Aikido and Iaido, as well as Japanese language
classes and Zen meditation studies. Our programs include the
study of various aspects of Japanese culture, including
contemplative practices, mind-body disciplines and cultural
arts that develop the human being and serve as paths of
self-realization.
