Bible, Joint Translation by the Japanese Bible Society, Leather-bound, Medium, SI59S

Unchanging words in a changing world - translated from scratch for the first time in 31 years - This joint translation by the Bible Societies aims not only to produce a "dignified and beautiful Japanese Bible suitable for reading in Christian church services and liturgies," but also to contribute to the formation of the Japanese language and culture into the future.

Leather-bound Bibles, which had long ceased production in Japan, have been revived by having their covers processed in the Netherlands and bound domestically. The leather-bound covers are made in the Netherlands, and each book is bound by hand in Japan.
