About us
Curated Books from Japan is a Tokyo-based organization dedicated to bringing the richness of Japanese literature to the world. In recent years, Japanese novels have gained international acclaim, with many translated abroad and recognized by major prizes. To support this momentum, we launched a literary scouting initiative to help overseas publishers discover exceptional works and authors.
Our aim is to ensure Japanese literature is not a passing trend but a lasting presence cherished by readers worldwide. True to our name, we are committed to carefully selecting and presenting masterpieces that transcend time.
