Founded in 2010, the Japanese Art & Culture Center (JACC) is
a non-profit organization that has served Silicon Valley's diverse
communities around San Jose, California with a mission to foster,
develop and promote traditional Japanese arts and culture within
the scope of the broader Asian culture.
JACC has provided venues to research, train, experience and
exchange knowledge about Zen, including the arts, sports and
cultural activities derived from it. This Zen-based approach forms
the core of  our program to enhance individual integrity,
build compassionate character, and foster profound awareness and
self-actualization.
Over the last decade JACC has been a place where a culturallly
diverse group of students and teachers who are interested in
learning about Japanese culture through participation in
traditional arts can gather and share their knowledge, experience
and outlook. It has served as a peaceful, accepting environment
where people feel free to openly express their ideas and to form
relationiships based on mutual trust and understanding.
JACC currently offers traditional martial art classes in
karate-do, kendo, iaido, aikido and kyudo as well as Japanese
language classes (private lessons & group classes).
