Dear Friends and Students

the Religious Society of Friends(Quakers) at their meeting place,  Mita, Takanawa, Minatoku, Tokyo.

I became one of the 66 members of Quakers in Japan. History goes back to England in Cromwell and Kings Charles I & II with George Fox but it is known better by William Penn, a founder of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.  In Japan the first member of Quakers was Nitobe Inazou, a former 5000 yen bill face and the founder of Tokyo Christian Women's University.

My family said I should spread this good group, so I will.

They are the opposite of evangelical groups, don't spread their believes and like Zen you listen quietly to inner self for salvation.  So it is very "Jiriki"( self attainment).

They have  fine schools they built around the world, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Earlham, etc.in the USA   In Japan, Friends School, "Furendo Gakuen"near Keio University.
