The reason why is because Japanese folks struggle with English (despite the vast amounts of resources invested in learning it as a second language).
That doesn’t mean, however, that there isn’t a demand for English books translated into Japanese.
Quite the contrary, the market for publications in Japanese is mature and many books published abroad are translated into Japanese. Indeed, due to the great demand in the local Japan market, many works of literature and art (movies) are often translated into Japanese before any other language. (Of course, the fact that Japan is a large, rich market is also a consideration.)
This represents a fantastic opportunity for authors looking to expand their reader base in Japan, a country of avid readers with a penchant for foreign publications.
