I attended the award ceremony for the 17th Kamenori Award in the Grassroots Category, held on January 12 in Ichigaya.
The Kamenori Award contributes at the grassroots level to promoting mutual understanding and交流 among the younger generations in Japan and the Asia-Oceania region, as well as fostering talent development.
This is an award that honors individuals or organizations expected to make significant contributions in the future.
This time, in addition to JII's grassroots division, three other organizations were awarded, each engaging in wonderful activities, and the interactions among the awardees provided a wealth of learning opportunities.
