(JSAP) is a Japanese group of researchers in the field of applied physics. JSAP originated in 1932 from a voluntary forum of researchers belonging to the University of Tokyo and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research. During World War II, most research, even applied, was frozen. In 1946, the society was established as an official academic society.
Oyo Buturi is the membership subscription of the Japan Society of Applied Physics. It is published monthly, in Japanese. Oyo Buturi International (1998) and JSAP International (2000-2008) are related English counterparts to Oyo Buturi.
