Thanks to JET Program Coordinator/Consular Specialist at the Consulate-General of Japan in Seattle (and a JET alum herself) Lynn Myauchi for letting me know about Bruce Rutledge, the owner of Seattle-based independent publisher Chin Music Press (www.chinmusicpress.com). Bruce was a Monbusho Exchange Fellow (MEF), the predecessor program to the JET Program, and now he is responsible for the publication of books such as Tokyo Art Space and Curing Japan’s America Addiction. In addition to a focus on modern storytelling, Chin Music Press prides itself on its book designs, both graphically as well as the material used in the covers.
