Workshops can be convened by any group of members who would like to study an issue together, particularly when it involves an interdisciplinary approach. So far, workshops have been held on "Time in Japan", "Magic, Religion, and Science", "The Cultural History of Modern Science in Japan". The workshop "Gender Studies on Japan" has been meeting annually since 1992. A workshop on "Small and Medium Enterprises in Japan" which met annually between 1995 and 1999, has been transformed into a workshop on "Institutions and Organizations in the Japanese Economy" (since 2000).
