I recently became a member of PSJ and one of the benefits of membership is that you receive the annual Japan Photo Almanac and a quarterly newsletter. The Almanac provides a comprehensive overview of the past year's happenings and trends in photography in Japan. It gives statistics on camera sales, a list of new products introduced, synopses of major photography events in Japan, a list of photo exhibitions held, a list of photo books published, a list of people winning major photo awards, a list of photography schools, winning photos of major photo contests, news summaries from photography organizations and museums, and more. It's most useful if you are a photo historian or if you like to keep track of what goes on in Japan's photography world. It also contains some English translations which are most welcome.
Back issues are also available.
