Founded in 2006 as a unit of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, the Columbia Center for Japanese Religion serves to coordinate, support, and develop the university's resources for Japanese Religion in three general areas: scholarly research, academic communication, and teaching.

CCJR seeks to promote the study of Japanese Religion in a broader Asian context with an emphasis on both inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural approaches. It works closely with the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, the Department of Religion, the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture, and the Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies at Columbia University.
