Slogan 2023 – “Imagine someone else’s mind”
Let us aim lively smiles of 100,000 members➢ 25th Anniversary Thanks to everyone
We, Japan Sport Wellness Fukiya Association, celebrates 25th anniversary of establishment on
1st April 2023. This could be achieved by all the supports and cooperation from every member,
Bloc, Prefectural Association, Municipal Association and local branch as well as directors andstaffs. I sincerely appreciate all of you.
On reaching 25th anniversary, we aim to reform and improve in line with the wishes of ourmembers. As the first step, we are carrying out maintenance and reform of Dan/Kyu-I
accrediting examination system. Basic ideas of the reforms are, to remove barriers between
general members and junior members, to construct Dan/Kyu-I accrediting system to bechallenged by anyone regardless of age, gender, physical strength and ability.
Among them, I wanted to create a Dan/Kyu-I accrediting system that allows both people whoare always ambitious and aiming for higher grades and people who are pausing with feeling abarrier of age can maintain motivation in the same way and challenge pleasantly.
We aim to enforce this revised Dan/Kyu-I accrediting system by July this year. We willcontinue to aim for various improvements.
Based on the annual membership fees and certification fees received from members such as
Dan/Kyu-I certification examination, we, Japan Sport Wellness Fukiya Association, promotes
projects, public profit projects and common profit projects, for the purposes stated in theArticles of Incorporation. As a non-profit general incorporated association on the premise ofbeing a public interest general incorporated association, we submit income and expenditurebudgets and financial reports to the general meeting of members of representative, and publish
them on our website after approval. We operate our Association in compliance with the lawand with a social awareness. I appreciate it greatly if you understand the above and support us
continuously.

➢ An organization that embraces diversity
Under this difficult time, we must not forget about someone else’s mind and thought. People’s
way of thinking is infinitely different, but if the purpose is the same, we have tocomprehensively move forward with many ways of thinking. Without abandoning anyone,everyone can walk up each other little by little - I believe that by moving forward in acomprehensive way, we can bring everyone closer to achieving their big goals. We believethat this will lead to the formation of a strong organization that moves forward together. I
believe that we can become a tolerant and diverse organization by having the humility to listento other people’s words from the other person’s point of view. I think that it is very importantin a coming era that the entire organization, centering on the Association headquarters, will
be like that. Just by “Imagining someone else’s mind”, wouldn’t it be a much brighter andmore fun activity than before?
