Journal of Japanese Studies
The Journal of Japanese Studies was established in 1974 as a multidisciplinary forum for communicating new information, new interpretations, and recent research results concerning Japan to the English-reading world. The Journal publishes broad, exploratory articles suggesting new analyses and interpretations, substantial book reviews, translations of Japanese articles of particular interest, and occasional symposia. It is published twice each year, winter and summer, with an annual total of well over 500 pages.[1]
Issues include original articles and book reviews. Although the journal covers most facets of Japan (history, economics, society), often there are articles directly covering various aspects of Japanese history.
