Additional Information
The Review of Japanese Culture and Society is devoted to the scholarly examination of Japanese art, literature, and society. Published annually in English, it provides a venue for the encounter of diverse perspectives on various aspects of Japanese culture and society. Each issue addresses a particular theme and seeks to provide a broad perspective by combining the work of Japanese scholars and critics with that of non-Japanese writers. Dedicated to the translation of works written originally in Japanese, each issue also includes an original translation of a Japanese short story.
