The International House of Japan, opened in 1955, is one of Tokyo’s most renowned cultural centers, regularly used for gatherings of people shaping the intellectual, social, and political landscapes in Japan and beyond. The building was designed by 3 of Japan’s leading architects, replete with a traditional Japanese garden bequeathed by the Iwasaki family (of the Mitsubishi business conglomerate). The Brown Club of Japan will be co-sponsoring a buffet dinner with the clubs of Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard Universities for an evening of delicious food and fine conversation. We hope that you can join us.
