Background of the Japan Source    ninks 
            
           

The American School in Japan (ASIJ) provides an American-style 
education to U.S., Japanese, Europeans and others who speak 
English fluently. 

Founded in Tokyo a century ago, ASIJ has long had 
strong links to and interest in the culture which surrounds us. 
For your use, we have developed various pages to provide 
full text information about Japan in English. 

The Japan Source was originally created by Vicky Downs, 
the head librarian at ASIJ for forty years. It includes links to 
hundreds of sites on the Internet which provide 
information about Japan useful to students in grades K-12 
and for those transitioning to lives in and around Tokyo. 

If you have comments, questions or suggestions regarding 
the material contained in ASIJ's Japan Source, please
