About us

Yume Editions is the editorial trademark of the Itsuo Tsuda Endowment Fund which aims at promoting Itsuo Tsuda's (1914-1984) philosophical work.

Itsuo Tsuda wrote nine books in French which were published by Le Courrier du Livre – Éditions Tredaniel. His philosophical thought gathers the West and the East, rooting especially in teachings gathered from masters such as Haruchika Noguchi, Morihei Ueshiba, Marcel Mauss and Marcel Granet. Starting from such miscellaneous sources, Ituso Tsuda meets a challenge by suggesting to consider human being beyond time, location and tradition: human being as such, unveiled. It is a philosophical thought which contributes to human evolution.

Yume Editions aims at promoting Itsuo Tsuda's work in every possible language and is urged forward by a desire to disclose this very important work.

All book managing and creating is volunteer.
