Most Worshipful Andrew L. Geiser, Past Grand Master and current Worshipful Master of Pearl Harbor Lodge F&AM, recently joined his officers and brethren in attending the 2025 Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Japan F&AM. Accompanying them was Most Worshipful Michael J.W. Lopez, Grand Master of Masons in Hawaii, who ably represented the Grand Lodge of Hawaii F&AM on this distinguished occasion.

Convened at the esteemed New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo, the Annual Communication drew brethren and dignitaries from across Japan and from jurisdictions around the globe. The gathering served as both a celebration of fraternal fellowship and an affirmation of the enduring ties that unite Masons beyond borders and cultures.

A principal highlight of the proceedings was the installation of Most Worshipful Yutaka Yagi as Grand Master of Masons in Japan. Conducted with solemn dignity and steeped in the rich traditions of the Craft, the ceremony reflected both the proud heritage and the bright future of Freemasonry, leaving all in attendance inspired by the universality of its principles.
