The Japan-America Society of Rhode Island (JASRI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring Japanese culture and history in Rhode Island. With a focus on building strong relationships between Japan and the United States, JASRI hosts the annual Black Ships Festival, which celebrates the achievements of Commodore Matthew C. Perry and promotes understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture through traditional arts, crafts, music, and dance.

The Black Ships Festival, now in its 41st year, offers immersive cultural attractions and art experiences for the whole family. This vibrant event transports attendees to Japan, providing opportunities to learn about the fascinating connection between Rhode Island and Japan, participate in interactive exhibits and workshops, and enjoy performances and delicious treats. The festival serves as a bridge between cultures, fostering a sense of community and promoting long-lasting peace through the celebration of Japanese culture.
