KIWI E.L.G. is based in Luxembourg and seeks to fulfil two main objectives with its books. On the one hand, the publishing house plays a contributing role in promoting the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Greater Region, but also – given its very strong link with Japan – wants to make its readers discover Japan. History, customs, traditions, anecdotes, discoveries, presenting different heritages... all subjects are welcome as long as there is a great story to be shared. Their books are mainly addressed to young people (aged 3 to 15), with the desire to introduce their readers to many countries and regions including Japan, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Grand East (France), the Province of Luxembourg (Belgium), the Saarland (Germany) and the Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany).
