DIJ Monograph Series

The DIJ Monograph Series is an academic series of monographs on Japan edited by the German Institute for Japanese Studies and published by Iudicium Verlag, Munich. We invite authors to submit manuscripts on any aspect of Japan. Please contact the director (director@dijtokyo.org) before sending your manuscript. The decision on publication of the manuscript is based on its academic quality. Monographs are published in German or in English.

Within Japan, volumes can be ordered (in limited numbers) directly from the institute: dijbibli@dijtokyo.org

Open Access:
Volumes usually become open access one year after publication if there are no copyright restrictions. They can be downloaded below.
