The Japanese Art Society of America promotes the study and appreciation of Japanese art. Founded in 1973 as the Ukiyo-e Society of America by collectors of Japanese prints, the Society's mission has expanded to include related fields of Japanese art.

Through its annual series of lectures, seminars and other events, the Society provides a dynamic forum in which members can exchange ideas and experiences with experts about traditional and contemporary arts of Japan.

The Society also sponsors important exhibitions, such as the forthcoming Designed for Pleasure: The World of Edo Japan in Prints and Paintings, 1680–1860, to be shown at Asia Society in New York City, February 27 to May 4, 2008.

The society publishes a quarterly Newsletter for members and an annual journal, Impressions, the sole English-language publication in North America devoted exclusively to the arts of Japan.
