New Japanese Version of The Night Sky

We are currently looking for a Japanese Distributor. Send us E-Mail if you would like to carry the Japanese version or discuss prospects for distribution in Japan.

Language supervision: Satoshi Hayakawa, M.D., and Toshimi Taki, Ph.D.

The Night Sky is finally available in Japanese! The latitude setting is 35°, which will work well for all of Japan. This is not a crude transliteration. Every aspect of the text has been critiqued and rewritten to read naturally in Japanese by two expert amateur astronomers living in Japan. Even the constellation patterns have been altered to better conform with the way they are recognized in Japan. (Sagittarius, for example, is seen as a Teapot by most Americans. However it does not look like a Japanese teapot!)

Even the constellation lines have been altered to better conform to usage by Japanese amateur astronomers.
