ASCJ is an interdisciplinary scholarly organization dedicated to the study of Asia. Since 1997, we have held an annual conference in Tokyo, one of the leading capitals of East Asia. The conference offers a stimulating environment for intellectual exchange on a wide range of topics and themes, and we welcome scholars from around the world to participate.

JUNE 4 UPDATE: A new chart of the scheduled panels is now available for viewing and downloading on the program page under the “Conference” menu.

The Calendar page has been updated with the 2026 Conference schedule.
