Ihatov

Named “Ihatov” for the “paradise” envisioned by beloved Japanese children’s writer Miyazawa Kenji, this blog is maintained by the Japanese translation group of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). The blog offers a comprehensive look at current Japanese children’s literature in translation. Most notable are the extended interviews with translators. [dj]
