President's Message

Dear members

It has been my honor, after a near two-decade hiatus, to serve as president of our organization again. This was my third time in the role, and please know that despite our considerable challenges, we continue to have the greatest Press Club in the world, as well as a tremendous group of volunteers and staff dedicated to its success. Over the last 11 months, the Board of Directors has done its best to ensure that the FCCJ has greater value for you, and to secure its future in public and Club service.

Welcome to FCCJ

There are no upcoming Deep Dive events. The next Deep Dive will be posted when confirmed. Thank you for your patience.

June 2025 Exhibition

(Japanese translation follows English, 日本語訳は英文の後に続きます。)

June 2025 Exhibition
Bok-koku: The brush is a sword. The ink is its strokes.
Artwork by Hara Kenryo and Bok-koku Artists
May 31 - June 27, 2025

June's exhibition welcomes the amazing world of "Bok-koku" - where ancient art meets a modern interpretation. Bok-koku artists use giant 'fude' brushes and unique ‘Sumi’ ink to paint works of art based on characters that date back 3100 years to the Yin Dynasty.

Mr. Hara Kenryo, who presides over this art collective, says, "These artworks are historical legacies that transcend time and space and serve as keys to explore the essence of human life and the artist's own human nature."
