About Sakishima Publishing Inc.

Sakishima Publishing Inc. is a publishing company established in Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, with the aim of publishing stories and expressions of people living in the Sakishima Islands (Miyako Islands and Yaeyama Islands) into books and delivering them to the world. Established in May 2026. Yuki Inoue (pen name: Koyaru), a novelist and Ishigaki Island resident, has been appointed as the Representative Director.

Background of the Birth of a Publisher from Ishigaki Island

The Sakishima Islands (Miyako Islands and Yaeyama Islands) in Okinawa Prefecture are regions located approximately 300-400 km southwest of the main island of Okinawa. The Sakishima region, consisting of multiple islands such as Miyako Island, Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island, Yonaguni Island, and Taketomi Island, possesses a unique ecosystem, distinct culture and history, and the lives nurtured by these islands.

On the other hand, opportunities for people living in this region to send their stories and expressions into the world in their own words have been limited until now. The voices of writers rooted in the region have not yet had sufficient opportunities to reach the wider world in the form of books.

Sakishima Publishing was established to create books from the stories, perspectives, and creations of writers currently living in the Sakishima Islands and deliver them to readers both domestically and internationally. The core of its activities is "Sending human expressions from this region to the world."

What Sakishima Publishing Aims For: Dissemination from This Region and Reconstruction of Reading Culture

Sending Human Expressions from Sakishima to the World

We will publish the stories and creations of writers and artists living in the Sakishima Islands into books and deliver them to readers both domestically and internationally. We aim to widely disseminate works born from the perspectives of people currently living in this region to the world.

Reconstruction of Reading Culture

"A book that reaches even those who don't read" is one of Sakishima Publishing's founding motivations. Delivering an entry-point book in an era of declining readership. This question is at the core of establishing the publishing company.

We aim to create books that are easy for people who don't usually read to pick up, rather than specialized publications for a specific readership.
