Wikipedia
Bungeishunjū Ltd. (株式会社文藝春秋, Kabushiki-gaisha Bungeishunjū) is a Japanese publishing company known for its leading monthly magazine Bungeishunjū. Founded by Kan Kikuchi in 1923, the company is headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo.
It grants the annual Akutagawa Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards in Japan, as well as the annual Naoki Prize for popular novelists. It also granted (from 1955 to 2001) the annual Bungeishunjū Manga Award for achievement in the manga and illustration fields.
The company publishes Bungakukai (文學界), the weekly Shūkan Bunshun (週刊文春), and the sports magazine Number, which represent public opinion of literary, political, and sport-journalistic culture, respectively. The Bunshun, in particular, has come to be known for litigation involving freedom of speech issues, particularly alleged privacy violations and defamation; see, for example, Mitsuo Kagawa.
