Where are we now?
For the month of August, join us as we tour the vibrant heart of Japan’s Kansai region – Osaka! Here, stories don’t just exist on pages; they’re woven into the very fabric of the city, blooming as vividly as the cherry blossoms in spring.
Celebrate Osaka’s rich literary heritage with specially curated collections of ebooks and audiobooks by captivating Japanese authors. Plus, we’ve teamed up with dozens of Japanese publishers to bring you big savings just in time to ring in Obon – a three-day celebration of ancestors held each August – to the tune of up to 50% on thousands of Japanese titles all month long.
