Search for Translated works of Japanese Literature

The Japan Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of a database of Japanese works of Literature translated into other Languages made possible through the cooperation of the Japan P.E.N Club. This Database will be available free of charge to users all over the world at the following URL: http://www.jpf.go.jp/cgi-in/jlsearch/jlsearch.egi This Database is by no means complete at this stage, and it is quite likely that important data has been omitted. As for works published from 2000 onward, as yet only a few are included. Especially with the many works that have been newly translated in recent years with the growing popularity of Japanese Literature overseas, The Japan Foundation is keenly aware of the need to collect data on recent works as quickly as possible. Arrangements are currently being considered with the Japan P.E.N Club for the incorporation of this data. We look forward to your understanding of this ongoing endeavor and will be grateful to receive any corrections in the data already compiled as well as new data for inclusion.
