The Chemical Society of Japan (公益社団法人 日本化学会, Kōeki Shadanhōjin Nihon Kagakukai) (CSJ) is a learned society and professional association founded in 1878 in order to advance research in chemistry.
The mission of the CSJ is to promote chemistry for science and industry in collaboration with other domestic and global societies.
Like its British counterpart, the Japanese association sought to foster the communication of new ideas and facts throughout Japan and across international borders.
