DJS Cultural Club
DJS Cultural Club (DJSCC) was established on 29 July 2025 as the official cultural wing of the Department of Japanese Studies. Designed to take cultural learning beyond the classroom, DJSCC serves as a vibrant platform where students engage in artistic expression, cultural exchange, and collaborative activities.
Created with the vision of enriching departmental life, DJSCC offers students a dynamic space to express themselves, explore cross-cultural creativity, and connect through music, performance, literature, art, and shared experiences. Under the guidance of Moderator Ms. Sabrina Zahir, the club nurtures individual talents, encourages teamwork, and fosters a creative environment where Bangladeshi and Japanese cultural elements naturally blend and inspire.
The club officially began its journey with a grand inauguration on 7 August 2025, attended by representatives from the Japan Foundation and Kokorozashi Japan Ltd. and presided over by the Department Chair. A symbolic manga gift exchange during the event highlighted the cultural bridge between Bangladesh and Japan. Soon after, the club hosted “Megh Utsob 2025,” featuring songs, dances, theatrical pieces, and monsoon-themed performances that celebrated both cultures.
DJSCC also conducts weekly practice sessions, where students gather to rehearse music, dance, recitation, acting, and other cultural activities. These sessions help build skill, confidence, and connection among members while keeping the club’s creative spirit active throughout the year.
In recent months, the club further expanded its collaborations by partnering with the Embassy of Japan to organize a special Karaoke Competition within the department—an event that celebrated language learning, musical enjoyment, and cultural bonding.
DJS Cultural Club stands not merely as an extracurricular group but as a growing creative movement within the department—rooted in talent, teamwork, and cultural curiosity. With enthusiastic student participation and consistent faculty support, DJSCC continues to evolve as one of the department’s signature platforms for artistic and cultural engagement.
The journey has only begun. The colors, sounds, and stories created through this club will continue shaping the cultural identity of the Department of Japanese Studies for years to come.
