  • MEDIA INFORMATION NO.2 Issue Date: June 2014
    MEDIA INFORMATION NO.2 issue date: June 2014 The Japan Times is now distributed with the international edition of one of the world’s most respected newspapers, The New York Times. Introducing The Japan Times History of The Japan Times The first issue of Yukichi Fukuzawa Sueji Yamada The Japan Times in 1897 On March 22, 1897, The Japan Times, today the English-language newspaper with the largest circulation in Japan, was inaugurated in Kojimachi Ward (now Chiyoda Ward), Tokyo, with the backing of Prince Hirobumi Ito and Yukichi Fukuzawa, a philosopher and the founder of Keio University. Sueji Yamada, a businessman and relative of Fukuzawa, was installed as president through the good offices of the latter. Motosada Zumoto, Yamada’s protégé, then reputed as the best English writer in the country, was appointed editor-in-chief. Toward the end of the Tokugawa era, an Englishman had started an English-language newspaper in Yokohama, also called The Japan Times. That paper was absorbed by The Japan Mail, which in turn was incorporated into The Japan Times. Later, The Japan Times also absorbed both The Japan Chronicle (British line- age) and The Japan Advertiser (American lineage), merging all the English-language papers into one in the pre-World War II period. After World War II, in 1957, The Japan Times inaugurated a “Daily International Airmail Edition” marking the occasion of the 60th anniversary of its found- ing. This new edition was honored with the Nihon Shimbun Kyokai (Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association) award. No more than a promising developing nation in Asia when The Japan Times was inaugurated, Japan today has become a world power mostly on the strength of its economic achievements and enhanced international status.
