Profile 02

Editor

As editor and publisher, Sugihara’s work is not limited to making books. It is the construction of contexts: bringing authors, ideas, rights, archives, translation, and readers into a durable form.

Editorial Positioning

Osamu Sugihara is Editor-in-Chief of Gogatsu Shobo Shinsha and Founder / Editor-in-Chief of Air Box Press. His editorial work is defined by cross-disciplinary judgment: security, international politics, AI, technology, publishing, culture, and the arts.

For the English-language audience, this editorial profile should emphasize discernment, continuity, and the ability to move ideas across formats and languages.

Air Box Press

Air Box Press is a Japanese international label created to bring Japanese works, ideas, and technology writing to the world. It is not only a publishing imprint; it is a structure for essays, books, newsletters, video, lectures, and English-language circulation.

The editor’s task is to make Japanese-language thinking travel without flattening its context.
