Yamabiko


Yamabiko is a non-profit organization founded in June, 1995 in Tokyo, Japan by seven volunteer members for the purpose of recording and delivering Japanese books on tape for those who enjoy "reading" through their ears.

The books are in Japanese, read aloud by volunteers and recorded onto audio tapes and CDs. Until recently these operations had mainly taken place in Japan, but now Yamabiko has begun to distribute tapes and CDs in the United Sates of America. The service is free of charge. The category of tapes available includes a wide range of novels, and a variety of monthly selected articles from "Koe-no-zasshi (Vocal Magazine).

Since inception; Yamabiko has been donating and distributed recorded tapes to the Seattle Library Book Mobile, nursing homes and day-care facilities in Portland OR, San Paulo Brazil, San Francisco CA, and Toronto Canada and the Japanese Language Division of City University of Hong Kong.

Last year, thank to our participating for ENMA, it was very fortunate for us that we were finally able to find the way to reach individuals from Japan; especially those who have been in US for long time and maintain interest in Japanese language

We are very much grateful to ENMA for giving us such an opportunity.
