Medieval Japanese Studies Foundation

The Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies (IMJS), founded in 1968, serves as an international research center dedicated to the exploration of pre-Meiji era Japan, with a particular focus on the medieval period spanning the Kamakura and Muromachi eras. By promoting research on overlooked aspects of this rich historical era, the IMJS facilitates scholarly collaboration between European and American researchers.

In addition to its research initiatives, the IMJS offers activities such as public concerts and workshops featuring gagaku, the ancient orchestral music of Japan. These events showcase renowned artists and provide educational opportunities for participants to engage with traditional Japanese music and culture through hands-on experiences.
