The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West”
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,

663

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.
