 Formerly known as both the National Nikkei Museum & Heritage Centre and Japanese Canadian National Museum, our new name is Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre. For most purposes we will be using “Nikkei Centre” for general activities and for the building as a whole, and “Nikkei National Museum” for museum-specific activities. It is proposed that we legally change our name to Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre at our upcoming AGM in April. Look for our new signage and materials, and new website, in the coming weeks and months!

Kotatsu offers a unique blend of traditional Japanese cultural festival elements, combined with the fun of an anime convention. Attendees can look forward to a variety of Japanese cultural demonstrations, foods, workshops, tutorials, and general culture throughout the day. During evening hours however, the convention will shift towards much more fan-based panels, events, and performances more typical of what you might find at other anime conventions.
