Shiro no Norite

Shiro No Norite (Kanji: 白の乗手, "The White Rider") is the Japanese Tolkien Society. Founded in 1981, they have three publications: Elanor, the monthly bulletin; Shiro No Norite, which publishes research, and Kuro No Norite ("The Black Rider"), a journal discussing other fantasy. Unlike some other societies' publications, Shiro No Norite publishes solely in Japanese. It has one smial, Cuiviénen.

In 2011 it showed activity at Shinshu University. A(n) (expected) member wrote about the society on their blog in 2017.

The smial website, which is the only website found, shows no activity after 2018. It is unclear whether this society is now defunct.
