New Ways of Living in Japan

For more than 40 years the Japan Foundation has supported the publication of Japan-related books around the world through its Support Program for Translation and Publication on Japan. With our grant funding, books in over 50 languages have been published in a wide array of genres, including classic and contemporary literature, history, sociology, politics, economics, and cultural theory. The booklet "Worth Sharing - A Selection of Japanese Books Recommended for Translation" introduces some good books that give people overseas a better understanding of contemporary Japan. New ways of living in Japan" was chosen for the theme of Vol.4. Twenty works, which allow us to explore the various forms of love expressed by Japanese people of the same age carried, has been selected. A member of the selection committee, Mariko Ozaki, shares her thoughts on the theme.
