This year’s kanji “Fuku” Good Fortune (Calligraphy by BC student, Yurie Hara)<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u2026. \u201cFortune\u201d. Since this is our 7th<\/sup> annual event, the first thing that came to our mind was the \u4e03\u798f\u795e<\/span> (Shichi Fuku Jin, the Seven Lucky Gods).<\/a> In Japanese cultures as well as many cultures around the world, seven is regarded as a lucky number. As this year\u2019s kanji indicates that despite all our challenges, we hope everyone will have a fortunate year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
