andnp’s Publishing System in Japan

andnp Corp. is a Japan-based publisher that plans, edits, produces, and distributes books through the Japanese commercial book market.

Our books are not produced only as private publications or personal projects. They are prepared as commercially distributed books, with professional editing, production, printing, and bookstore distribution in Japan.

We work with specialists, printing companies, and distribution partners to maintain the quality expected of published books in the Japanese market.

Planning and Editing

At andnp, book planning and editing are carried out by the publisher.

Many of our books are based on materials such as first-person records, long-term primary materials, and personal documents. These materials are carefully organized through an editorial process that includes structure design, editing, fact checking, and ethical consideration.

Because some of our works deal with human experience, illness, loss, and psychological themes, we place importance not only on readability, but also on accuracy, context, and responsibility.

Cooperation with Specialists

When publishing books that deal with human experience, professional perspectives are important.

andnp works with specialists in fields such as clinical psychology, medicine, grief care, and related areas.

One of our main titles, Inside Out: Holding the Child Within — From Drop+Kiss…+, was produced under the supervision of a clinical psychologist.

This cooperation helps us publish books that can be read not only by general readers, but also by professionals and researchers who are interested in the subject.

Production and Printing

andnp works with professional production and printing partners in Japan.

For printing and binding, we work with Chuo Seihan Printing Co., Ltd. This allows us to produce books with the physical quality expected in the Japanese commercial publishing market.

We manage the process from editing to printing, and place importance not only on the content of the book, but also on the finished book as a physical product.

Bookstore Distribution in Japan

andnp books are distributed through bookstore channels in Japan.

Through Kuwatani Shoten, our books can be supplied to bookstores through major distribution networks, including Nippan, Tohan, and RBN.

We also support direct transactions with bookstores.

This means that our books can be handled as commercially distributed books in Japan, rather than only being sold through a private website or limited personal channels.

Online Sales in Japan

andnp books are also sold through major online bookstores.

Main online sales channels include Amazon and Rakuten Books. Through these channels, our books can reach readers throughout Japan.

Overseas Distribution

andnp also supports overseas distribution.

Through international distribution networks, readers outside Japan can purchase our books from bookstores and online bookstores.

Our first focus is to publish books properly within the Japanese commercial publishing system. At the same time, we are also preparing ways for readers outside Japan to access our books.

Information Disclosure and Ethical Care

andnp places importance on making information about its publications publicly available.

We publish pages that explain the background of each work, bibliographic information, production credits, and ethical considerations.

This is especially important for books based on first-person records, personal documents, and human experience.

For andnp, publishing is not only the act of making a book. It is also the act of placing a work responsibly into society, through the structures of editing, production, distribution, and public information.
