Fujisaki is a legendary figure in US-Japan relations, having served as Japan’s Ambassador to the US from 2008-2012. He is making a brief visit to San Francisco. We are also delighted to welcome the Consul General of Japan in San Francisco, Mr. Noguchi, at the same event. Like Amb. Fujisaki, CG Noguchi is a great friend of the United States and the Japan Society of Northern California. This is an excellent opportunity to meet two leading diplomats from Japan.This reception will be held on Friday, February 24, from 4:00-6:00 PM at the Morgan Lewis office located at One Market Street in San Francisco. There will be a small charge of $15 to cover our costs, and you must register and pay in advance in order to attend the event.
