Abstract

<p>The Entomological Society of Japan was established in 1917. Here, I review its history of 100 years: the first 40 years during which the founders sought for the freedom of entomology, the society was restored after World War II, and the society logo with a relic Japanese dragonfly Epiophlebia superstes was designed; the following 40 years during which a more active and democratic system of the society had been developed, the International Congress of Entomology (ICE) 1980 at Kyoto was successfully hosted, and the consolidation with the Japanese Society of Applied Entomology and Zoology ended in failure; and the recent 20 years when we have endeavored to make a progress in the diversification and internationalization of the journal Entomological Science, to reform the society especially for students and young members, and to enhance collaboration with related societies in Japan. Finally, I discuss some critical points for the progress of this society after becoming a general incorporated association in 2017.</p>
