Background
The Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) is a member of the International
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (Federation), the world
’s largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance without
discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or
political opinions. The JRCS was founded in 1877 and was one of the five
National Red Cross Societies that took the initiative in establishing the
Federation in 1919.
Organizational structure
The JRCS'national headquarters is located in Tokyo, supporting a
nationwide network of chapters throughout all of the 47 Japanese
prefectures. The JRCS has Her Majesty the Empress as Honorary President,
and other members of the Imperial Family as Honorary Vice-Presidents.

Activities (International)
