Founded in 1907, the Japan Society is a nonprofit, nonpolitical organization that aims to bring the people of Japan and the United States closer together through understanding, appreciation, and cooperation. Society programs offer opportunities to experience Japanese culture; to foster sustained and open dialogue on issues important to the U.S., Japan and East Asia; and to improve access to information on Japan. Producing content on Japan for the United States, Japan Society presents over 100 events annually in the performing and visual arts, business and policy sectors, and education fields. With performances, exhibitions, film screenings, lectures, conferences, courses, seminars, symposia, and workshops, year-round programming occurs at Japan Society's landmark building located in Manhattan near the United Nations. Designed by Junzō Yoshimura in conjunction with Gruzen & Partners as the first building in New York of modern Japanese architecture and opened in 1971, it has a three-story indoor bamboo water garden, a 262-seat theater, art gallery, library, conference and administration facilities, and the Toyota Language Center. Japan Society has announced the appointment of Yukie Kamiya as Director of Japan Society Gallery from November 2015. (She was chief curator at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art (Hiroshima MoCA), Japan. ) == Mission == "The Japan Society’s long range objective is to help bring the people of the United States and of Japan closer together in their appreciation and understanding of each other and each other’s way of life. It is our hope that a vigorous Japan Society can be of real benefit by functioning as a private, non-political organization interested in serving as a medium through which both our peoples can learn from the experiences and the accomplishments of the other."〔John D. Rockefeller 3rd, March 1952〕
