I-House 70th Anniversary Programs

Interview with IHJ Donors

James Kondo and Dr. Chris Brünger

On the occasion of its 70th anniversary, I-House has renewed its vision to become a center of knowledge exchange representing the Asia-Pacific region and to make a greater impact on a global scale. To realize this vision, we launched a fundraising campaign and have thus far raised some 400 million yen toward our goal of 2 billion yen. Donations have been made directly to I-House and also indirectly through the furusato nozei hometown tax donation scheme and the nonprofit American Friends of the International House of Japan. We would like to express our gratitude to all donors for their generosity. Chairman James Kondo had a conversation with one donor, Dr. Chris Brünger, who expressed his enthusiasm about the new initiatives being taken by I-House and shared his vision for creating a cutting-edge information center.
