Company Overview

Our Corporate Philosophy

Since the founding of Teikoku-Shoin Co., Ltd. in 1917 (Taisho 6), we have been producing textbooks and atlases for students of Japanese, thereby viewing the country from a global perspective.
Bearing this in mind, we encourage our employees to develop their abilities
through activities that promote good health
and active work. The staff members
make full use of their abilities with their
creativity, design, and endeavours.

Sincerity, Ability, Practice, and Achievement.

Real ability developed by constant effort is necessary to achieve better results.
