We have around 80 years of experience in publishing, beginning when we were part of the Japan Management Association, established in 1942 to promote management efficiency in industry. We became an independent company in 1991.

Books for readers who want to learn
Our books are practical and useful texts for adult and child readers. This site lists 40 titles we believe will be of particular interest to readers outside Japan. Many are specifically written for those seeking to learn more about living or working in Japan. All draw on the knowledge we have accumulated over our history as management professionals.
Because we aim to reach every reader who hopes to learn new things and develop their skills, we design our books in a variety of formats, using appealing illustrations and even manga (comics) to convey information effectively. We are confident that our publications can contribute to your company’s success.
