YOKOSUKA, Japan (Jan. 28, 2026) — Personnel assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka take turns using a kine (mallet) to pound rice during a traditional mochitsuki ceremony at the hospital. The Japanese Fellows organized the event to highlight cultural partnership and collaboration between U.S. and Japanese medical professionals. The Japanese Fellowship Program is a yearlong graduate medical education program that has trained Japanese physicians at USNH Yokosuka since 1952. (Ai Hazama/USNMRTC Yokosuka Public Affairs)
