Issue 6 (December 2006, Volume 1, Number 6)

Our last issue of 2006 reviews an exciting selection of new books ideal for the rapidly approaching holiday season. We also launch our new Arts Review feature with a look at two recently published works, both offered at specially discounted prices for our readers.

As those who visit our website regularly will already know, we are now reviewing much more than books and have widened our scope to cover movies, the stage, arts and Japan related events.

Our expanded activities mean it is no longer possible to include everything we review in print, but on our website you will be able to find the "full Monty" as well as an extensive archive of book reviews. Links to all the new material and on-line features are also included in this issue.

Finally, from all our regular reviewers and the staff of the Japan Society, a big thank you to our readers for their support, comments and helpful feedback during the year. In 2007 we will endeavor to maintain the momentum with more in-depth quality reviews. Seasons greetings and a good 2007.
