Encyclopedia of Japan

Kodansha Ltd.

  • Eng

This resource contains the full body text of Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia (Kodansha, 1993), which was compiled under the general editorship of the late Dr. Edwin O. Reischauer, and enjoys a solid reputation for its accurate and elegant English, written by first-class Japanologists chiefly from prestigious Harvard University. In addition to functioning as an ordinary encyclopedia, it can be a great help for explaining Japan or matters relating to Japan in English, or when you wish to express delicate nuances of the Japanese language in English.
※This volume contains the content of the CD-ROM edition (1999).
