      THE TUTTLE STORY: “BOOKS TO SPAN THE EAST AND WEST”

      Most people are very surprised to learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions.

      Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry, and founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which still thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers.

      Though a westerner, Charles was hugely instrumental in bringing knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 titles on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.

      With a backlist of 1,500 books, Tuttle Publishing is as active today as at any time in its past—inspired by Charles’ core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

      In Japan, there is an active volcano called Mount Asama. Two hundred years ago it erupted in flames. It then shot out ashes that covered the surrounding villages and damaged all the crops.

      In the village of Takasaki, there lived an orphaned blind girl who stayed at the Daruma Temple. Her name was Yuko-chan, or Warm Water Girl, because she had such a warm, gentle personality.
