Paper Crane Agency

A key source for ​international publishers looking for new titles from Japan, ​we facilitate collaborations ​with Japanese authors, illustrators and publishers.   We also assist publishers who are licensing Japanese content with translation, adaptation and localization to make publishing Japanese books in translation as easy as possible.   In Japan, the crane is a symbol of good fortune, happiness and longevity. Origami folded paper cranes are often given as an expression of good wishes and peace.    ​At Paper Crane, we hope that all the titles we present or create – our “good wishes” from Japan – will bring enjoyment to readers of all ages, wherever they are in the world.
