Our Mission
Five Senses Foundation (FSF) supports, preserves, and celebrates traditional Japanese arts with a larger mission of inspiring people, especially youth, to live harmoniously with nature.
Student Cultural Exchange
In 2023, the Five Senses Foundation proudly welcomed our first Japanese traditional arts students to Seattle—two skilled young artisans from Japan. During their weeklong stay, they immersed themselves in the vibrant culture of the Seattle and Portland regions, connecting with diverse communities and exploring a rich array of people and places.
