About
Josse ‘t Sas

I am a language trainer and translator specialising in Japanese and Chinese. I offer Japanese and Chinese language lessons in Groningen and Amsterdam, with courses tailored to the interests and goals of each student.

Alongside teaching, I work as a translator of Japanese into English and Dutch, focusing on literature and cultural texts. My academic research has explored the work of Yukio Mishima and the challenges of translating literary style across languages.
