The organization was modeled after the British Chemical Society. This learned society in London was the precursor of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Like its British counterpart, the Japanese association sought to foster the communication of new ideas and facts throughout Japan and across international borders.
Membership was expanded in 1948 in a merger with the Society of Chemical Industry. In 2018, the first woman was announced as president, the distinguished chemist Maki Kawai.
