IRVINE — The highly anticipated Cool Japan Center officially opened its doors on Nov. 4 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan.

This cultural hub, dedicated to celebrating and sharing Japan’s rich cultural heritage, is poised to become a vibrant destination for art, anime, manga, fashion, technology, cuisine, and more.

In advance of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Cool Japan Center hosted a pre-opening event on Nov. 2, featuring an award ceremony that recognized individuals and organizations for their contributions to promoting Japanese culture and strengthening U.S.-Japan relations.

The governor of Yamanashi Prefecture, Kotaro Nagasaki, was the guest of honor at the ceremony, which was co-hosted by Dr. Hiroshi Tasaka, former advisor to Prime Minister Naoto Kan and current chancellor of The Akademeia 21st Century, a group of 17 colleges that provide art to the center; and Dr. Anthony Al-Jamie, director of the Cool Japan Center and editor-in-chief of Tokyo Journal.

Guests experienced authentic Japanese culture, including a traditional rickshaw with drivers from Asakusa, Tokyo; a shamisen musical performance; having their names written in kanji (Chinese characters) by shodo (Japanese calligraphy) experts; and sampling Yamanashi wines and sake, as well as pastries courtesy of Yoku Moku.

The Cool Japan Center, a collaborative effort between Akademeia Creative and Yamanashi Prefecture, is the first U.S.-based gallery in the Akademeia Creative network of 13 galleries. The center will showcase contemporary and traditional exhibitions, workshops, and events that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Japan’s cultural landscape.

The pre-opening event also recognized individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to fostering stronger U.S.-Japan relations, including:

Cool Japan Center Ambassador’s Award: Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Chef Ben Ford, IW Group founder Bill Imada
