Kotobaaruki is a multilingual media site that introduces quotes from great figures in Japanese history, together with their background, meaning, and relevance to life today.

Our Purpose

We present the words of historically significant Japanese figures not as bare quotations, but alongside the historical context in which they were spoken, their sources, and commentary on how they can apply to our work and lives today. The same words are delivered to readers around the world in Japanese, English, Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish.

Editorial Policy

Wherever possible we verify the sources of the quotes we publish and distinguish historical fact from legend. Our commentary is written originally and is not copied from other sites. For corrections or questions about our content, please reach us through the Contact page.
