If you have trouble reaching us by email, please send us a fax or snail mail.  We are advocates of responsible commercial email,  but what we have received recently in quality and quantity is unacceptable; so we have discontinued several email addresses and all incoming mail is filtered.

Parcel delivery companies like FedEx and UPS do not accept PO Box addresses; so, if needed, please ask us for the appropriate deliverable address.

When founded, IMC planned to be a general trading company. In 1959 Japan was just emerging from the devastation of World War II and the aftermath of the Korean War. Japan was hungry for business, management and technical books and magazines. IMC found its niche representing foreign publishers. Eventually IMC began to distribute to local booksellers and local distributors, to work with Japanese publishers, and to do many other tasks relating to the promotion and distribution of publications. The emphasis is on information rather than entertainment or elementary education. Today we also promote many Japanese authors who write in English and experienced expats living and working in and with Japan. Working with expats and with Japanese who create in English is fun, generally undervalued by the mainstream bookstore and distribution trade, but we think very important.

What was IMC, established in 1959 by Warren Ball, is now (from April 1 2009) two companies that operate separately. The original company was moved to Saitama by Tetsuro Fujimoto until his untimely death early in 2010 and is now represented by JLJ Inc. in Ikebukuro..

The new "kk imcbook", headed by Kuniko Ito with Warren Ball as advisor. It focuses on (a) internet information, (b) expat/Japan books, (c) books from the USA (fashion, financial, petroleum, photography, travel, (d) export of books and journals from/for Japan and Asia.
