Abstract: the number of cases referred to arbitration in Japan is quite small. Ad hoc arbitration is rare and most of the cases have been handled by two institutions, the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (JCAA) and the Japan Shipping Exchange (JSE). The purpose of this paper is to describe the achievements and practice of these institutions, with some observations of the present writer. Professor Koyama stated in the preface to his treatise on arbitration law that he attempted to write a book furnishing current information on arbitration rather than a scholarly piece of work.1 Similarly, though on a much smaller scale, this article will attempt mainly to present pictures, as it were, of international commercial arbitration conducted in Japan. Although occasional references will be made to the arbitration law contained in the Code of Civil Procedure, this article will not deal with various problems of that law, which perhaps would require separate treatment.
