Society for Japanese Arts explained

The Society for Japanese Arts was founded in 1937 by a group of Dutch collectors of, and dealers in, Japanese art. Originally called The Society for Japanese Arts and Crafts, the society became international in the 1960s.^{[1] [2]} It currently has over 550 members in 24 countries.^[3]

The Society sponsors lectures, exhibitions and publications. It awards grants through the Heinz M. Kaempfer Fund, and publishes the journal Andon (ISSN 0168-2997) in English, which provides results of research about various ukiyo-e artists, e.g. Utagawa Kunisada III.^[4]
