CJS RESPONSE TO NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
To help limit the coronavirus risk to our campus, community, and guests, the Center for Japanese Studies has canceled all in-person events and will hold them online. The CJS office is also closed with staff working remotely. Please forgive any delay in communication at this time.

We encourage all friends of CJS to follow the guidelines set by health and government officials and to stay safe and healthy.
The Center for Japanese Studies supports and promotes an encyclopedic array of research and teaching related to Japan; we also support the study of historic and contemporary connections between Japan and Japanese Americans. Throughout the year, we host a regular lecture series, colloquia, and symposia bringing to campus a stimulating and always-changing community of intellectuals and public figures, including journalists, performers, artists, and business leaders. Our nearly forty faculty, one hundred graduate students and two thousand undergraduates engage in study and original research that the Center supports with fellowships and grants. The Center also serves as a home for specialists from throughout the world who come to Berkeley as Visiting Scholars. We invite you to join us at our many activities as we strive to cultivate innovative and ever-richer study of Japan.
