The Press was founded in Seattle in 2002 by Bruce Rutledge and Yuko Enomoto.[3][4] They began by publishing books on contemporary Japan, but have expanded to include books on New Orleans, China, and Korea.[5]

After being located in various locations around Seattle for many years, in 2014 the company opened a store in Seattle's Pike Place Market.[6][7][8]
