Two languages
Works born in Japanese are translated into English, and ideas that reach us in English are translated into Japanese. Translation is not an appendix, but an editorial journey into another context.
About
Between a place to read and a place to think.
aDaD Press is a publishing label operated by amico Data and Design Inc.
The aDaD Press credo
Widen your focus.
It’s okay if things get a little blurry.
フォーカスをひろげる。
少しボヤけてもいいから。
What might we overlook when we bring one point into sharp focus? We widen our view to include the context around words and perspectives we have yet to encounter.
Even when the outlines are not yet clear, we leave room to keep thinking. In reading, editing, and translation, these words guide our approach to publishing at aDaD Press.
Every medium is a temporary container.
From print to digital, and beyond. Media are temporary containers that change with each era. At aDaD Press, we value the words, knowledge, and dialogue with readers that flow through them, carrying a work’s questions and ideas forward as its form changes.
Reading in the AI era
Reading with AI should not only mean reaching answers faster. We are carefully exploring new connections that leave room to read, question, and pause.
