Most people are surprised when they learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its
humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles Tuttle, came
from a New England family steeped in publishing, and his first love was books—especially old and rare
editions.
Tuttle’s father was a noted antiquarian dealer in Rutland, Vermont. Young Charles honed his
knowledge of the trade working in the family bookstore, and later in the rare books section of Columbia
University Library. His passion for beautiful books—old and new—never wavered throughout his long
career as a bookseller and publisher.
After graduating from Harvard, Tuttle enlisted in the military and in 1945 was sent to Tokyo to work
on General Douglas MacArthur’s staff. He was tasked with helping to revive the Japanese publishing
industry, which had been utterly devastated by the war. When his tour of duty was completed, he left the
military, married a talented and beautiful singer, Reiko Chiba, and in 1948 began several successful
business ventures.
To his astonishment, Tuttle discovered that postwar Tokyo was actually a book-lover’s paradise. He
befriended dealers in the Kanda district and began supplying rare Japanese editions to American
libraries. He also imported American books to sell to the thousands of GIs stationed in Japan. By 1949,
Tuttle’s business was thriving, and he opened Tokyo’s very first English-language bookstore in the
Takashimaya Department Store in Ginza, to great success. Two years later, he began publishing books to
fulfill the growing interest of foreigners in all things Asian.
Though a westerner, Tuttle 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, he had published over
6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by Emperor Hirohito in 1983 with the
“Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest honor Japan bestows upon non-Japanese.
The Tuttle company today maintains an active backlist of some 1,500 titles, many of which have been
continuously in print since the 1950s and 1960s—a great testament to Charles Tuttle’s skill as a
publisher. More than 60 years after its founding, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time
in its history, still inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission—to publish fine books to span the East and
West and provide a greater understanding of each.
