(ISBN 978-1-5586-2590-7)〕 A company profile describes it as an "International publisher of innovative books on design, cooking, martial arts, language, travel and spirituality with a focus on China, Japan and South East Asia."〔(The London Book Fair: Tuttle Publishing ) (2010).

==History==
Publisher and book dealer Charles E. Tuttle (1915–1993) founded the company in 1948 in Tokyo, Japan, with the aim of publishing "books to span the East and West."〔〔Ingleton, N. (1993): (Obituary: Charles E. Tuttle ) ''The Independent'' (July 7, 1993). Retrieved on April 17, 2010.〕〔Saxon, W. (1993): (Obituary: Charles Tuttle, 78, a dealer in books on U.S.-Asian ties ) ''New York Times'' (June 11, 1993). Retrieved on April 18, 2010.〕 It was the 31st corporation approved by the occupying Allied administration.〔 In its first year of operation, the company imported and distributed U.S. paperback publications to the occupying forces, and the next year, it released its first publication.〔 From 1951, it published many books on the Japanese language, arts, and culture, as well as translations of Japanese works into the English language.〔
In 1953, part of the company was separated to form a new, partially owned company, Yohan, which took on responsibility for distributing U.S. paperback books and magazines.〔 The Charles E. Tuttle Company retained responsibility for distributing UK publications.〔 In 1991, under chief executive Peter Ackroyd, a planned acquisition of the Atlantic Monthly Press failed to eventuate.〔Cohen, R. (1991): (Small House to buy Atlantic Monthly Press ) ''New York Times'' (June 24, 1991). Retrieved on April 20, 2010.〕〔Cohen, R. (1991): (The Atlantic Monthly Press is sold to one of its editors ) ''New York Times'' (August 30, 1991). Retrieved on April 20, 2010.〕 According to executives, "Tuttle, which specializes in Japanese and other Asian books, came to feel that it was putting its existing business at risk by acquiring Atlantic."〔 In 1996, the company changed its name to Tuttle Publishing.〔(Manta: Tuttle Publishing (Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc. ) (2010). Retrieved on April 20, 2010.〕
Since its founding, Tuttle has published more than 6,000 books and today maintains an active backlist of around 2,000 titles. The company now produces 150 new titles each year, most of which still focus on the areas of Asian interest that Tuttle has long been known for—everything from Asian literature and language learning to cooking, art, crafts, and design.〔Tuttle Publishing (2008): ''General trade catalog''.〕
