Homma Kancho celebrated a big milestone this year: his 60th birthday. By coincidence or design, 2010 was also a big year for Nippon Kan and Homma Kancho who received numerous awards for outstanding service to our community. Homma Kancho said, “I have been named for many awards this year, but these awards are really meant for all of the students and friends who have supported Nippon Kan in all that we have been able to accomplish. It is all of Nippon Kan that I am thankful for.”
