Announcing the Results for the 4th Annual New Year’s Greeting Card Contest

We are pleased to announce the results for the 2020 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 540 cards from 19 schools throughout Northern California will be displayed in the Japan Information and Cultural Center gallery from January 24 through February 20, 2020. We hope you will visit our gallery.
