with the following mission:
To
bring communities and people together through the sharing of
cultural experiences.
To realize our
mission, we have the following goals:

To establish and develop an educational
center in McHenry County, Illinois for the study of
Japanese culture, including cultural arts, mind-body
disciplines and contemplative practices that develop the
human being.
-
To offer instruction, publications,
lectures, retreats, youth training, and other
educational activities that make the study of Japanese
culture accessible to anyone.
-
To explore innovative ways to experience
Japanese culture, encouraging tolerance and exchange
among different cultural traditions, and emphasizing the
commonality of human experience.
-
To establish a resource for people
wishing to study the culture and tradition of Japan, and
to create a space where such education can occur though
knowledgeable and professional instruction.
