The Japanese Culture Club, an RSO on SVSU’s campus, discusses Japanese culture and history. They also host Japanese cultural-based activities such as origami, calligraphy, attending tea ceremonies and food based events.
Recently, the RSO hosted an origami night for SVSU Students.
Jillian Richelle Molyneaux, Japanese Culture Club President and sixth-year Secondary English Education major, explains the meaning of origami:
“It’s a traditional Japanese art of folding paper to create different shapes and figures. Origami is considered to be invented in Japan with some possible Chinese roots.”
Students interested in the event will have the opportunity at the event to learn about the history of origami, stories and legends about origami, as well as how to make traditional and nontraditional origami.
“Some events we are looking forward to this semester are going to the Tea House in Saginaw, making Japanese foods, and doing traditional Japanese calligraphy,” Molyneaux said.
Meetings for the Culture Club are traditionally held in Curtiss 224 on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30. JCC is intended to be very casual, which includes fun activities and discussions. Students can find more information about our organization on the student engage page or email Molyneaux at jrmolyne@svsu.edu.
“Japanese culture is a very beautiful thing,” Molyneaux said. “If you’re interested in learning more about the experience and opportunities, please come check out our organization.”
