Commemorating our 40th Anniversary
The foundation of ICLC began 40 years ago with the teaching
of Japanese to the Nikkeis of Okinawan descent.
By providing knowledge about the culture and language, we have prepared students to join and adapt to Okinawan and Japanese society.
To celebrate this 40th anniversary, we have launched a
scholarship program for the Nikkei Uchinanchu,
both to contribute to the development of the future uchinanchu network, and for scholarship recipients to deepen their
knowledge of Okinawan culture and its roots.
