Eric Margolis

California-born, Philadelphia-bred, Tokyo-based.

I research Japanese-to-English translation and write compelling stories that cross borders. I've covered groundbreaking Japanese arts, culture, and social issues for The New York Times, Foreign Policy, The Japan Times, and many others outlets. I've managed and edited English translations of award-winning and best-selling Japanese novels and manga. I've translated signs at major Japan tourism destinations, art museum text, and Japanese poetry and short stories; I've delivered lectures and education on language and literature.
