About
Reading Time: < 1 minuteHanabi is the online student publication run by high school students at the American School In Japan. We brought back “Hanabi,” the name of the publication at ASIJ some decades ago, to continue the tradition. “Hanabi” means “fireworks” in Japanese, and we hope to spark readers’ interests like fireworks light up the night sky. We aspire to establish ourselves as a publication beyond the limitations of a traditional student newspaper, publishing content for and from both the high-school student body and the entire ASIJ community. We showcase student work, opinions, and achievements. We aim to be informative, entertaining, and insightful.
