+# Japanese Documents Dataset (PDF)
+*This dataset contains a curated collection of Japanese-language documents in PDF format. The corpus includes textbooks, research papers, news articles, public-domain books, and government publications written in Japanese. It is intended to support AI research in OCR, document understanding, and multilingual text recognition.*

+
+## Supported Tasks
+
+- **Task Categories**:  
+  - Document Classification  
+  - OCR and Text Recognition  
+  - Layout and Structure Analysis  
+  - Language Modeling for Japanese  
+
+- **Supported Tasks**:  
+  - Extraction of Japanese text from PDFs  
+  - OCR for Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana scripts  
+  - Classification of documents by type (academic, literary, official, educational)  
+  - Benchmarking AI systems for Japanese document parsing and layout understanding  
+
+## Languages
+
+- **Primary Language**: Japanese  
+- **Secondary Presence**: English numerals, Romanized Japanese, and technical symbols (common in bilingual or academic PDFs)  
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+The dataset was curated to improve AI systems’ ability to read and understand Japanese-language documents, including vertically written text and mixed-script layouts, enabling more accurate OCR and multilingual NLP research.
+
+### Source Data
+- **Contributors**: Open-access Japanese libraries, educational institutions, and public-domain repositories.  
+- **Collection Process**: PDFs were collected from publicly available sources with clear open licenses permitting use for research and AI model training.  
+
+### Other Known Limitations
+- **Bias**: Primarily educational and official documents; limited representation of informal or handwritten material  
+- **Layout Complexity**: Some documents contain vertical text or mixed Japanese-English layouts that may challenge OCR accuracy  
+- **Script Variation**: Coverage includes modern Japanese; limited inclusion of historical or classical scripts  
+
+## Intended Uses
+
+### ✅ Direct Use
+- Training OCR systems for Japanese text recognition  
+- Research in document layout understanding and vertical text OCR  
+- Digitization and analysis of Japanese-language academic or archival materials  
+
+### ❌ Out-of-Scope Use
+- Identifying or profiling individuals from document content  
+- Commercial redistribution of copyrighted PDFs  
+- Use in surveillance, handwriting identification, or behavioral analysis
