Shinken Press Ltd.

History

Shinken Press Ltd. publishes newspapers for constructors and many books on housing.

“Shinken” means “build something new”. The company was founded in 1945. It published a house building journal in Nagano prefecture, in the middle part of Japan.

In 1995, when the Great Hanshin Earthquake hit the Kansai region, Mr. Kazuma Izawa (former head and owner of Shinken Press) took many workers, such as constructors in Nagano prefecture, to Kobe city — the disaster-stricken area — to help victims.

At that time, Mr. Izawa set a new policy for the company: “Change Japanese buildings and houses to be much stronger against disaster through our media.” He set up a new office in Tokyo and began to publish new journals (newspapers and magazines) for home builders and constructors named “Shinken-Housing”. It is currently one of our main media.

From the early 2000s onwards, financial crisis plunged Japan into a deep and prolonged economic slump. Many companies and local governments had difficulties constructing new buildings or performing maintenance due to financial difficulties.

In 2007, Shinken Press published a new magazine called “Risk-taisaku.com”, which focuses on BCP, Disaster Recovery and Risk Finance.
