Although much is known about the donations made by Japanese companies to causes in other countries, little is known about corporate giving within Japan itself. This book explores the socio-cultural setting in which the latter type of corporate giving is conducted.

An in-depth, comparative account of the legal system underlying Japanese corporate philanthropy in general and the establishment and operation of corporate foundations in Japan in particular.
