The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum was one among 24 organizations that Hachioji City Mayor Takayuki Ishimori honored on October 1 at a ceremony held at the Hachioji City Art and Cultural Hall in commemoration of Hachioji’s establishment as a municipality. TFAM Board of Trustees Chair Kenji Harashima received the honor on the museum’s behalf.
The commendation was awarded in recognition of TFAM’s donation of admission tickets to students in Hachioji schools for the summer vacation exhibition, “Thomas Edison: The Wizard of Menlo Park and His Inventions,” as part of the museum’s ongoing community outreach initiative.
