Nanka Kenjinkai Kyogikai (Japanese Prefectural Association of Southern California: “JPASC”) is a federation of various kenjinkai-the associations of persons sharing an interest in culture and customs related to a particular prefecture in Japan. As of 2025, this federation has 40 prefectures among 47 prefectures in Japan.
It was established in 1964 with a purpose to promote goodwill between the United States and Japan, and to encourage appreciation of the cultural heritage of the various Japanese prefectures. To further this purpose, JPASC provides networking opportunities for persons interested in Japanese cultural heritage. JPASC also sponsors events and shows of Japanese culture that presents the various prefectures, and provides scholarships to young men and women who are studying Japanese culture since 1976.
