Wang Xiaoxia

Wang Xiaoxia, born in Tianjin in 1987 and currently based in Tokyo, is a translator focusing mainly on Japanese social-science and documentary works. She holds a master's degree in Japanese literature from the Graduate School of Literature at Meiji University, and has a solid command of Japanese along with a background in Japanese literature and culture. She has published three translated works, including Shigeru Saito's The Poor Eaters, Haruki Konno's Blood-Sucking Companies: The Monsters That Eat Japan, and Izumi Kyoka's Song-Dance Lantern and Grass Maze, and took part in translating the two-volume Japanese Social Conditions series. Her choices center on Japanese social observation and management issues, presenting ordinary people's lives amid rapid economic growth as well as workplace pressure and corporate culture, while also introducing classical Japanese literature. Public information is limited, but her existing works show attention to the original context and offer Chinese readers a reliable window into Japanese society and literature.
