<div><tt>Can a Koreanist, in good conscience subscribe to Japan
Focus?</tt></div>
<div><tt>True, the name of our electronic journal is something of an
affront, and it is to be hoped that it changes in due time to reflect
the Asia-Pacific thrust of the work that appears there, notably
reportage and scholarship on Japan, China, Korea and the
Asia-Pacific.</tt></div>
<div><tt>In fact a great deal is being published that is central to
Korea and to Northeast Asia: on the two Koreas, on Japan-Korea
relations, on US-NK-6 nation nuclear negotiations, on the future of a
Northeast Asia community, on China-Japan-Korea conflicts over
territorial issues and war memory.</tt></div>
<div><tt><br></tt></div>
<div><tt>We invite Koreanists to subscribe and contribute to the
journal.</tt></div>
<div><tt><br></tt></div>
