The magazine "Bungei Shunju", which was first published by writer Hiroshi Kikuchi in 1912, has grown into a "national magazine" by legendary editor-in-chief Shinpei Ikeshima after the Pacific War. As a company, Bungei Shunju has successfully expanded its business from magazines to books, paperbacks, and new books, and has a strong presence in the publishing world as a truly unique publisher.

Even in the present age where the stage of expression spreads from print to digital, approaching the 100th anniversary of the founding of the company, the spirit of the founder who wants to speak with "free mind" has been handed down as the DNA of Shunju Bungei.
