Konnichiwa Club
EnglishJapanese
     
 

In Japanese, "Konnichiwa" means "hello." It is a common word used during first time introductions and expresses the essence of our group.

The Konnichiwa Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to introducing Japanese culture to people in Atlanta. Before our club was founded, some people promoted Japanese culture to various local organizations by themselves. However, they found this to be difficult.

Finally, in 1994, some of the people gathered and founded the Konnichiwa Club. Currently we have about twenty members.
