Open dataset of books on Japan in foreign languages are available as part of the Free Data Service of the NDL

摘要

The National Diet Library (NDL) has long been acquiring books on Japan in foreign languages published in and out of the country. Since January 2002, bibliographic data of books on Japan in Western languages have been provided online. These data, along with bibliographic data of books on Japan in Asian languages and children’s books on Japan published in other countries, are now available at the Free Data Service on the NDL website in the form of open datasets, which can be freely used without requesting permission of the NDL.
