Unseen Japan is a collective of writer-translators who cover the current events, history, and culture of Japan – all based on original Japanese sources. Leading publications like Huffington Post, the LA Review of Books, Kotaku, MTV, and Anime News Network cite us for our in-depth coverage, analysis, and insight.
We emphasize quality over quantity. Our writers are all Japanese-conversant and most have degrees in Japan Studies or significant time (in some cases, a lifetime) living and working there.
