What We Do

Nippon News covers anything with a connection to Japan. We may be shooting Japanese soccer stars playing in Europe or producing video for a European client visiting Japan. We have production capabilities here and abroad and a multilingual staff to support. We enjoy what we do and we do it with passion and integrity.

Editorial Images

Our photographers are out in the field covering compelling newsworthy stories from Japan daily. We cover major sporting events, politics, protests, catwalk fashion, anime news and also anything strange or bizarre. Our images are available for licensing on an individual basis and also via reasonably priced subscription deals.

Picture Research

Nippon News has access to a Japanese image database and also to several domestic archives including the libraries of the Yomiuri Newspaper and the Mainichi Newspaper. These are the two biggest Japanese newspaper groups and if you are looking for image from the World War II era or something else that you can’t find on our website please email us at picturedesk@nipponnews.net as there is a good chance that we will be able to source it for you. We are happy to provide free research for you and will do our best to find the image or clip that you need.
