In 2011, the Donald Keene Center celebrated a quarter century of free programs dedicated to introducing Japanese culture, in all its depth and diversity, to new audiences. Combining public outreach with interdisciplinary scholarship, the Center seeks not only to inform but also to inspire. We look forward to your continued patronage and generous support in helping future generations to experience the richness of cultural discovery.
