I was impressed to see that it explains Japanese culture clearly, and includes a variety of articles that would appeal to wide range of readers.
I am quite inspired and grateful of your determination to introduce Japanese culture to many people and play a great role in the cultural exchange between our countries.Cultural News was started in 1998 by Shige Higashi in Los Angeles with a help of a friend from Japan.
From 1999 to 2001, Cultural News was published once every two months while Shige worked as a translator in a Japanese travel company.
After the September 11 Attack took place in 2001, Shige lost his job because the Japanese travel industry in Los Angeles was totally devastated.
The Approximate $50,000 annual budget is covered by subscriptions, advertisements and donations from individuals in the U.S. and Japan.
