Various Landscapes in Japan's Regions

The Japan Foundation has supported the publication of Japan-related books around the world through its Support Program for Translation and Publication on Japan. The booklet "Worth Sharing - A Selection of Japanese Books Recommended for Translation" introduces a new initiative aimed at giving people overseas a better understanding of contemporary Japan. Following the first volume titled "Shedding light on Japan's youth," the second volume of "Exploring Japan's diverse regions" selects 18 titles of contemporary fiction and 2 works of nonfiction that depict various landscapes in Japan around the theme of regions and localities. A member of the selection committee, Professor Chō Kyō, shares his thoughts on the publication.
