In 1989 visiting researchers and the museum's curators came together to form the Shibusawa Study Group, with the goal of studying Shibusawa Eiichi and the wide range of activities in which he was involved.

The Shibusawa Study Group meets roughly eight times a year for lectures and talks by group members and external researchers. The group edits and issues the Journal of Shibusawa Studies once a year. The Shibusawa Eiichi Memorial Foundation bears the publication costs for the journal and supports the study group in various other ways.

The Shibusawa Memorial Museum sends the Journal of Shibusawa Studies to institutions in several countries upon publication. Since it is not possible for the museum to mail individual copies of the journal overseas, please visit one of the institutions listed in the "Overseas Mailing List" if you wish to read the journal.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Shibusawa Study Group a book was published (in Japanese only) drawing on selections from the group's research. Shibusawa Eiichi: Proponent of the Public Good was published in March 1999 by Yamakawa Shuppansha Ltd. with assistance from the foundation.

Please send any inquiries by mail as the museum is not equipped to deal with telephone inquiries in English.
