Japanese Studies
Japanese Studies is an interdisciplinary journal which publishes scholarly articles on various aspects of Japan, as well as book and film reviews. In addition to general non-thematic editions, the journal regularly publishes guest-edited thematic issues on such themes as postwar politics, environmental issues, literature, citizenship, the legal system, modern technology, management, Japanese language teacher education, and popular culture. These thematic issues are particularly valuable for university teachers and students who use these up-to-date studies of Japan contained in the journal to supplement course readings. Contributions are invited from scholars around the world. Ideas expressed by the authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the editor, the Association, or the Editorial Advisory Board. Published three times a year.

Kikan Senso Sekinin Kenkyu (The Report on Japan's War Responsibility)
SSK, published by the Center for Research and Documentation on Japan's War Responsibility.since 1993, has now reached 30 issues. It brings together some of the finest documentary and archival research and analysis by Japanese and other East Asian scholars on the Pacific War, particularly on the most critical and contentious issues of that era and down to today. We believe that the journal belongs in every major center library with research interests in World War II in general, and Japanese war, colonialism, and war responsibility in particular, and in the libraries of specialists. It provides a valuable source of documentation for scholars of the Pacific War, and a gold mine for graduate students seeking research topics on the period.
Each issue is approximately 85-100 pages of documentation and analysis on issues pertaining to Japanese wartime activity and issues of responsibility, in some instances cast in comparative perspective. Each issue addresses a special topic such as the 'comfort women, the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, German War Responsibility, Japanese Aggression and Postwar Reparations, The Military, War and Sexual Violence, and Japanese Anti-War Activity during the Sino-Japanese War, and Universities and the War. Arai Shinichi is the chief editor, with Hayashi Hirofumi and Yoshida Yutaka playing important editorial roles.
