Japan Documents Handbook Series
The Japan Documents Publishing Handbook Series focuses on the broad field of Japanese Studies, aimed at the worldwide English language scholarly market, published in Tokyo in English. The aim is to publish an average of six such peer-reviewed volumes per annum. Each Handbook will contain an average of 20 newly written contributions on various aspects of the topic, which together will comprise an up-to-date survey of use to scholars and students. The focus will be on Humanities and Social Sciences. Each Handbook will be published in print and digital editions simultaneously, both in Japan and in North America and Europe.
