Founders
The Osano Memorial Foundation
was created in 1987 in Yamanashi Prefecture
thanks to a donation by Mrs Eiko Osano. Through
her donation,
Mrs Osano was able to honor the last wishes
of her husband, the late Mr Kenji Osano. Mr.
Osano,
a Yamanashi native, wanted to create a new
culture through international exchanges and the
prefecture’s
development.
Activities
The aim of the Osano Memorial
Foundation is to contribute to internationalization
and cultural development in Yamanashi through international
exchanges such as sports and cultural events. This
foundation currently carries out the following
activities:
1. A junior high school essay
contest in order to deepen international understanding
2. The publication of the Grapevine, a bi-annual magazine in English promoting
Yamanashi
3. Support for international exchanges and cooperation
