The Japanese Esperanto Institute was founded in 1919, mainly by Osaka Kenzi. Its official headquarters are in Tokyo, on Waseda Avenue.[1]
It is the national affiliate of the World Esperanto Association. Its premises include a library, bookshop, classrooms and archives. It has over 1,300 members. There are 80 local Esperanto clubs in Japan. The Institute publishes the journal La Revuo Orienta ("The Oriental Review").[2]
One of its first directors was Ōishi Wasaburō, the discoverer of the strong upper air currents known as jet streams.[3][4]
