Annual JAA Scholarship Dinner of the 43rd Scholarship Awards and 7th Honjo Scholarship Awards We had a great awards dinner on June 6, 2013 at the Harvard Club with George Packard, President of the US Japan Foundation as keynote speaker (emphasizing the importance of individual people to people connections) and special guests Irene Hirano Inouye, President of the US - Japan Council (widow of Senator Daniel Inouye) and Mme. Yukiko Nishimiya (widow of Ambassador Shinichi Nishimiya). Mr. Isao Alessandro Anzai , recipient of Ambassador Shinichi Nishimiya Scholarship and Mr. Daiyu Suzuki , recipient of the Honjo Award expressed their appreciation for their respective groups. In addition, This is excerpt of message from Daiyu Suzuki on behalf of all the Honjo awardees below: As I mentioned last night, I was stunned to see how this year’s Honjo Scholarship awardees all came from arts and humanities: history, East Asian studies, literature, and education, for all other scholarships unfortunately target students in the disciplines that produce profits in one way or another. However, what we can do is to contribute to deeper mutual understandings and friendship between Japan and the US, precisely as Dr. Packard mentioned in his insightful speech. We are grateful for this scholarship that enables us to pursue our passions and commitments. 43rd JAA Scholarship Awards 1.
