Announcing the Results for the 3rd Annual New Year’s Greeting Card Contest
2018/1/23
We are pleased to announce the results for this year’s New Year’s Greeting Card Contest for Elementary, Middle and High School students. Every year, Japanese people send New Year’s cards, or nengajo, to friends, family, and coworkers and we are glad to be able to share this Japanese tradition with local students. Over 200 cards from 11 schools from the Northern California will be displayed in Japan Information and Cultural Center gallery from January 24th through February 19th. We hope you will visit our gallery.
