Overview

Sōgō Kagaku Shuppan (株式会社 総合科学出版) is a Japanese publishing company headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. According to its official company information, it was founded in October 1970 and is led by representative Mochizuki Masaru. The company's stated business is publishing (出版業), and it operates from offices at 3-2-1 Iwamotochō in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward. The publisher's catalogue spans several areas that it highlights on its website: business (ビジネス), subculture (サブカルチャー), science (サイエンス), life science (ライフ・サイエンス), and a 'legend' category (レジェンド). Its output mixes practical and popular-science topics with niche cultural studies. Representative published titles include works on kemonomimi culture, geology, novel-game creation, corporate research ethics, insect subculture, self-management, and the stories of stones and people. In April 2023 the company released a new title, 'がんを治すための新常識' (New Common Sense for Curing Cancer), supervised by Sano Masayuki, priced at 1,320 yen including tax, with 237 pages and ISBN 978-4-88181-363-8. The same month the company renewed its website. The publisher sells through major Japanese online retailers such as Amazon and Rakuten Books, and maintains a direct website listing new releases, news, and previously published books. As a small independent publisher, Sōgō Kagaku Shuppan does not appear to be listed on a stock exchange and operates as a private company. Its editorial identity is defined by accessible, often practical titles aimed at general readers rather than academic monographs.

History

Sōgō Kagaku Shuppan was founded in October 1970 as a Japanese publishing company. Its official company information lists Mochizuki Masaru as its representative and states its business as publishing. The company is based in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, at 3-2-1 Iwamotochō. Over the decades the publisher built a catalogue that spans business, subculture, science, life science, and a 'legend' category. Its titles are aimed at general readers and often combine practical advice with popular-science or niche cultural subjects. Examples include 'ケモ耳文化研究概論' (Introduction to Kemonomimi Culture Studies), '日本に住んでいるなら知らないとヤバい! 地学の授業' (A Geology Lesson You Must Know If You Live in Japan), 'テンプレート式ノベルゲームの作り方' (How to Make a Template-Style Novel Game), '企業研究者の心得' (The Mindset of a Corporate Researcher), 'サブカル昆虫文化論' (Subcultural Entomology), '自分をサクサク動かす セルフマネジメント' (Self-Management to Keep Yourself Moving Smoothly), and 'おもしろい 石と人の物語' (The Interesting Story of Stones and People). In April 2023 the company released 'がんを治すための新常識' (New Common Sense for Curing Cancer), supervised by Sano Masayuki. The book is 237 pages, priced at 1,320 yen including tax, and carries ISBN 978-4-88181-363-8. It argues that cancer is a lifestyle disease and recommends dietary improvement and, where needed, quality supplements. The publisher promotes it through Amazon and Rakuten Books. On 5 April 2023 the company renewed its homepage, and on 26 April 2023 it announced the addition of the new cancer title to its site. The publisher continues to operate as a small independent house, issuing new titles and maintaining a backlist of previously published books.
