Fukuinkan Shoten Publishers, Inc. has started its business in the year 1916 as a bookseller and have specialized in the publications of children's books and books about children for about 70 years.
One of the major characteristic of our publication is our monthly picture books series which were launched back in 1956 starting with the “Kodomo no Tomo”. Many masterworks have been produced such as “Guri and Gura” and “Everyone Poops” through this series. Apart from the monthly picture books, we have introduced a lot of works which have been endeared by children all over the world for a long period of time such as the “Kiki’s Delivery Service” series by Eiko Kadono (2018 Hans Christian Andersen Award Winner for Writing).
We have always hoped to publish picture books and story books that are unforgettable and stay in our readers’ hearts for many years to come which is an unchanged goal we aim for.
