The Japan Style Sheet is an authoritative guide that will assist
anyone working on English-language publications about Japan or
containing references to Japanese culture, art, business, history,
and politics. Aimed primarily at the needs of editors and writers
without specialized knowledge, it contains clear advice and
information, as well as several appendices that will be useful to
translators and researchers in Japanese studies. Problem areas
discussed include methods of romanizing Japanese; word formation;
"spelling" Japanese words; methods of indicating long vowels,
apostrophes, and other aids to a proper reading of romanized
Japanese; capitalization; plurals; and bibliographic style. Reasons
and alternatives are given throughout to enable writers and editors
to make stylistic decisions based on their intended audiences.
