About Josuikai

1. History

The original Koyukai (graduates’ association) was founded in March 1889 at the then Commercial High School. Renamed Commercial High School Alumni Association in January 1898, and then Tokyo Commercial High School Alumni Association in April 1902. Officially named Josuikai at the inaugural meeting on November 14, 1914 (the name Josuikai was bestowed by Eichi Shibusawa quoting a passage from an ancient Chinese manuscript). Recognized as an incorporated association by the Minister of Education on August 10, 1916, becoming Josuikai Incorporated. The Alumni Clubhouse was completed on June 30, 1919 at 1-1 Hitotsubashi-dori courtesy of donations from members with the aim of fostering friendship and common benefit among members, and forming the basis of social activities. The building was burnt down in the great earthquake of September 1, 1923, and rebuilt in October 1926. Following WWII it was taken over by occupation forces, but has always been maintained by the generous donations of members.
