I'm currently lobbying several government ministries and private foundations in both the U.S. and Japan for a million dollar grant to translate into English the copyright-expired works available on Aozora Bunko. As you know, Aozora Bunko has several thousand works by over 500 Japanese authors, so I need to round up 20-25 (at least!) of the best translators/bungaku specialists you can find. This is an enormous project which will likely take several years to complete. We hope eventually to post the texts directly onto the Aozora Bunko site, or onto Project Gutenberg (or something similar).
