An article on Japanese SF, with a focus on media and a selected bibliography, by Aidan Doyle at the Internet Review of Science Fiction, written after the Japanese Worldcon.

"Yoshio Kobayashi is a leading translator of foreign SF into Japanese. When asked what the impact of the Worldcon on Japanese SF was, he answered, "Actually not much.

We couldn’t produce a decent Japanese SF anthology in English except an old one. There weren’t enough foreign fans and writers to cause a great impact." – read the rest of the article
