The AbunaI! FoundatIon
Since 2003 the Abunai! foundation organizes Abunai!, a yearly three-day convention celebrating Japanese culture. Abunai! is filled with events centering around Japanese pop culture and the more traditional aspects of Japanese culture.
Abunai! is made possible with the blood, sweat, and tears of a dedicated and hard-working team of unpaid volunteers. These volunteers consist out of staff members who work year-round to organise Abunai!, as well gophers, supports, and stewards who are active during the convention. Without them, there would be no Abunai!
