The 100 Guineas Club - Legacy Pledgers

Founded in 1891, The Japan Society received its first gift from Emperor Meiji—a donation of 100 guineas—as a gesture of his hope for the Society’s “continued prosperity.” Since then, we have relied on the generosity of our supporters and benefactors to sustain our mission.
