Support for japanese language education in the us - the education of japanese-speaking americans is an extremely important issue for nurturing the next generation of individuals who will take on the responsibility for u.s.-japan relations and for strengthening the Foundation of the u.s.-japan partnership. With this in mind, the jcawf decided to establish multiple projects which, by supporting japanese education in the u.s.
