ABSTRACT:This is a bibliography of Bernard Shaw's works in Japanese translation. It was originally compiled by Masahiko Masumoto (1934–2006) and has been supplemented and updated by Ryuichi Oura. The list is preceded by an introduction that briefly traces a history of Shaw's reception in Japan and outlines how Japanese translators have tried to solve some problems in translating Shaw, such as choosing suitable titles and transplanting dialects and swear words.
