This study provides an accessible overview of the range of reading
spaces in modern Japan, and the evolution thereof from a historical
perspective. After setting the scene in a short introduction, it
examines the development of Kanda-Jinbocho, the area of Tokyo that
has remained for a century the location in Japan most bound up with
books and print culture. It then considers the transformation of
public reading spaces, explaining how socio-economic factors and
changing notions of space informed reading practices from the early
modern era to the present. This led, in turn, to changes in
bookstores, libraries, and other venues. Finally, it briefly
considers the nature and impact of virtual reading spaces, such as
the representation of reading and reading spaces in popular
culture, and new modes of reading mediated by the digital realm as
well as the multifaceted relationship between these and older forms
of reading practice.
