Global Oriental
Global Oriental occupies a unique position as the only UK publisher dedicated to the study of the regions of East Asia and Central Asia. The Global Oriental imprint was originally established in 1996 with publication of The Silver Drum, the memoir of Japanese Princess Chichibu, wife of Emperor Hirohito's brother, which attracted international acclaim, and subsequently a discrete list of Japan-related titles evolved, including the ‘Rediscovering’ series. In 2003, a new company was formed around the existing imprint and book list, committed to a major publishing programme focused on Japanese, and more broadly Asian Studies, especially Korean, Chinese and Inner Asian Studies. This propelled Global Oriental to the forefront of independent academic publishing in these areas, and is increasingly recognized for the depth and quality of its list, which today totals some 200 titles.
Featured Title

Japan and The Graphic A Complete Record of Events, 1870-1899 Launched in December 1869 in direct competition to The Illustrated London News, (ILN) which first appeared in 1842, The Graphic set out to upstage its competitor through the quality and amount of its illustrations (including colour) and the paper it was printed on. Together, however, the two periodicals dominated nineteenth-century British journalism. With circulations far in excess of The Times, the extent of the news – including considerable foreign reporting – opinion and miscellaneous data of these two publications provides an invaluable resource for researchers and historians. |
