Our company policy is to promote the richness of Japanese culture through a wide range of businesses, with a primary focus on publishing. Founded in 1949, Tankosha has produced publications on a broad spectrum of Japanese culture topics, including history, religion, fine arts, crafts, architecture, and gardens, with a focus on the tea ceremony, which is a comprehensive cultural system of Japan. In addition, we are engaged in a variety of activities such as the sale of tea utensils, Japanese clothing and goods, as well as the operation of cultural classes and travel programs, all aimed at contributing to the continued development of Japanese culture.
