The 18th Biennial Conference of the Japanese Studies Association of Australia (JSAA) was held at The Australian National University, Australia, from 8-11 July 2013.  Participants in the conference were invited to submit written papers based on their presentations for inclusion in a refereed conference proceedings to be published online.

Each submission was sent to two scholars who were asked to provide a scholarly judgement on the suitability of the paper for publication.  In order to make the publication promptly available, papers were either accepted or rejected as is; there was no major process of revision in response to comments by the referees. In cases of conflicting or ambiguous referees' reports, the paper was referred to a further referee and the Editor made the final judgement on suitability for publication. A total of 26 papers were accepted for publication under these procedures.
