Celebrate Japan Day on November 14

Sunday, November 14, is Celebrate Japan Day. This day commemorates the first visit of a delegation sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan to the U.S. The delegation of 80 samurai received a warm welcome in San Francisco, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New York, and Philadelphia.

As part of the festivities, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania will offer a special afternoon (1-5 pm) of activities celebrating Japanese culture.

Come to Tenth in the morning to learn from Dr. Michael Oh (president of Christ Bible Institute in Nagoya, Japan) and to meet a representative from Kurume Christ Church, a church planted in Japan 50 years ago by two of our partners. Enjoy an afternoon of Japanese activities for the whole family. And return in the evening to hear more from Dr. Oh. What a way to celebrate!
