Members' Corner

 

We want to hear what sparked your connection to Japan! The Japan Society MembersCorner is a space for members to share their favourite memories of Japan and their involvement with the country’s cultural traditions, cuisine and people. 

By collecting together members' memories and favourite moments, we will document and strengthen our unique community of passionate individuals, companies and organisations. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank both our individual and corporate members/donors for their continuous support and look forward to receiving your contributions!

Upcoming Themes

Our theme for October to December is… My Favourite Photos
Submission deadline: Sunday 31 December 2023


Our final theme for 2023 is simple – your favourite photo(s) from time spent in Japan or the UK.

Maybe it’s a famous landmark that took your breath away or a hidden gem you can't wait to share; a tranquil garden where you relaxed all afternoon or a trip to the seaside where you ate ice cream and took a dip in the sea. It could be a simple snapshot of a delicious meal that you'll never forget, an interesting shop window or something strange that caught your eye. You might have a collection of photos of new friends met during your travels, or images from a time long ago that always bring back warm memories of your favourite place.

Photos must be your own and can be accompanied with a simple description or a few paragraphs. Either way, we want to hear from you! All submissions are welcome.

Members who are interested in contributing should submit these to membership@japansociety.org.uk with the subject header ‘Members' Corner – My Favourite Photos’.
