Japan Society of Boston Book Club

Wednesday, June 18, 2025

from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM EDT

Do you love Japanese literature? The JSB Book Club will be meeting to discuss Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson. 

Set in 1954, this novel follows a small community on the island of San Piedro, north of Puget Sound, where Japanese American Kabuo Miyamoto is on trial for murder. A compelling drama that delves into the fallout of Japanese internment after World War II.

The JSB Book Club meets on the last Wednesday of every other month to discuss great modern Japanese novels. The purpose of our club is to strengthen the Boston community of Japan enthusiasts by creating a space for thoughtful and sociable discussion.

The club is limited to Japan Society of Boston Members. Interested in joining but not yet a Member of the Japan Society of Boston? Consider becoming a Member today! If you are already a Member and interested in the group, please contact us to have your name added to the club mailing list
