Our Business Fields

For more than a century, Seibundo has published technical and business works in the fields of science, technology, lifestyle and culture.

More recently, we have expanded our business to organizing special events, seminars, e-commerce and other activities. We are committed to further expanding our content-related business to meet the needs of all customers using varied formats and approaches.

Pioneers in publishing since 1912

Over the decades, we have published accessible books and magazines that provide the information demanded by the times. The Anglo-Japanese Conversation Manual (Nichibei kaiwa techo), for example, was published less than two months after World War II ended in anticipation of Japanese society’s need for English conversation skills.

Wide-ranging experience
in publishing translated works

We have a wealth of experience in publishing translated works around the world, including in China, Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Thailand and Vietnam.
