Hawaii Federation of Buddhist Women's Associations

Who we are

[ Oahu ] [ Honolulu] [ Kauai ] [ Maui ] [ Hawaii ]

In April 1954 the thirty-four Fujinkai/BWA organizations in Hawaii united, forming the Honpa Hongwanji Mission Hawaii Federation of Buddhist Women's Associations (HHMHFBWA). Meeting at the Hawaii Betsuin, at long last the Hawaii Federation became a reality. When the inaugural ceremony was held on April 17, 1954, Monshu Kosho Ohtani and Lady Yoshiko Ohtani presided over the auspicious occasion. The membership of the Fujinkai in Hawaii exceeded 7,000 that year.

The fall of the same year, each Fujinkai/BWA unit became united by their island districts. Today there are five United Buddhist Women's Associations. They are from Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii Island (Big Island), Maui (Lanai included) and Kauai.
