    In partnership with the Small Business Resiliency Network (SBRN)

    of the Washington State Department of Commerce

    the Small Business Resiliency Program

    of the Japan America Society of the State of Washington

    has supported minority business owners of limited English ability

    who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Specifically, our program was chosen by the Washington State Department of Commerce to offer support IN JAPANESE to Japanese and Japanese speaking businesspersons.


    このプログラムは次の二つの軸で成り立っています

    Our program includes 2 main pillars of support

    1. Resources

    SBAが提供するPPPやEIDLのように

    申請により支援を受けるプログラムを始め図書館で提供する無料相談コーナーなど

    多くの支援プログラムが国、州などの公的機関から提供されています

    そのような支援プログラム情報を日本語で紹介します


    Explanations and information in Japanese regarding Federal,

    State and other public programs offered by the

    Federal Small Business Administration (SBA)

    such as the PPP and EIDL programs,

    and more recently WA Hospitality Grants. 

    Applicants to these programs can access government support

    such as free consulting sessions offered at

    public libraries and in virtual meetings.


    2. Techinical Assistance


    事業を立ち上げる、あるいは運営するにあたり

    多くの疑問点を解決しなければならない場面は多く

    こんな時に日本語で相談できたら・・

    と感じる方は多いのではないでしょうか?

    また、オーナーの皆様が知りたい情報を

    1.無料Business webinar Series (月1回)

    ・会員の皆様のご要望により、ビジネスとビジネスをつなぎます

    ・SBRP主催のイベントの優先的な登録ができます

    Many Japanese-speaking businesspeople starting up and

    operating businesses would benefit from consultations in Japanese

    regarding the issues they encounter.

    ready to discuss the practical matters

    that businesses in Washington State encounter.


    Our Small Business Resiliency Program currently includes:

    1. Free, recorded Business Webinars released once a month.

    2. The Weekly Report: “Shittoku” with useful information

    in Japanese for business owners.

    3. The Weekly Japan-America Society Podcast:

    “Small Business Bites,” also in Japanese.

    Keynote Speaker - Shinji Maeda

    “Defying the Odds: Shinji, the One-Eyed Pilot”


    Read the complete story by the North American Post here:

    Shinji Maeda, One-eyed Pilot, to Fly Around the World (napost.com)

    (Excerpts taken from NAP article written by Misa Murohashi)

    Shinji Maeda, founder of Aero Zypangu Project who calls himself a “one-eyed pilot,” departed for his around-the-world flight on May 1st. This mission is to inspire people with his message, “Nothing is impossible.” NAP interviewed him just before his departure from Seattle. He enthusiastically shared the message of his mission.

    Shinji Maeda was born in Hokkaido prefecture. Dreaming about becoming a pilot since his childhood, he went to Japan Aviation High School, Yamanashi prefecture, and entered the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University, to study aerospace engineering. However, just after his admission, he was hit by a car and lost sight in his right eye. To achieve his dream even after the accident, he left Japan to study at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Arizona, where he earned a master’s degree in Safety Science. After graduation, he worked as an aviation engineer at ShinMaywa Industries, Ltd. and Boeing. While working as an engineer, he earned licenses as a commercial pilot and flight instructor in the United States. In 2016, he launched the Aero Zypangu Project, a nonprofit organization, to give lectures and flight training to young people.

    Shinji Maeda is a Shin-Issei who is active in our community as founder and president of Aero Zypangu Project, a 501c3 non-profit organization he founded with his supporters. Its mission is “to provide opportunities and experiences that inspire hope, strength, and joy in people with disabilities, in youngsters, and in their families through aviation activities.” Through his motivational lectures and discovery flight lessons, Shinji delivers his message, “Nothing is impossible,” through his own life experiences.
