About

Over 75 years alongside
the culture of publishing.

Our origins trace back to Shinmin Inshokan, founded in the years following the Second World War. For more than 75 years since, we have walked alongside publishing culture as dedicated makers of books.

Our commitment to craft and our sensitivity to the ideas people wish to give form — these remain at the heart of everything we do.
