Monogatari Iwanamishoten Hyaku Nen Shi 2

[Machine Translation] Iwanami Shoten's publishing activities, which even gave birth to the term "Iwanami Bunka" (Iwanami Culture), reached their peak from the 1930s to the 1960s, which intervened between the end of the war and the end of the Japanese occupation. This book traces the publishing activities of Iwanami Shoten from the 1930s through the 1960s, which included the publication of the prewar "History of Japanese Capitalism," the first issue of Shinsho, the Tsuda Yokichi Incident, the postwar issue of Sekai, the Showa History Debate, and other important issues, while tracing the company's continued role as a "culture for educating people" in the nation-state of Japan.
