Publication
The promotion of Japanese literature is a key pillar of the Japan Foundation’s mission to deepen ties between Japan and the rest of the world. To this end we curate information related to Japanese literature and offer financial support to overseas publishers who plan to translate and publish Japanese books. We also help to build networks and promote cultural exchanges among authors, translators, and editors.

Support Programs for Translation and Publication
The Japan Foundation provides financial support to projects centered on the translation and/or publishing of Japanese-language works in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts, as well as works that introduce Japanese culture in other languages.
