How
to pay
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.
The new "imcbook" is headed by Kuniko Ito and focuses on (a) internet information, (b) expat/Japan books, (c) books from the USA (financial, petroleum, travel, (d) export of books and journals from Japan.
Roughly translated:
株式会社 = kabushiki kaisha = stock issuing company = company limited = corporation. It is often abbreviated as KK. The KK may be located either before or after the proper name.
