Charles joined the U.S. military and was stationed in Japan immediately after World War II working on General MacArthur's staff.

After his military service was completed, he decided to stay on in Japan and set up his own business importing English-language books and magazines and exporting rare Japanese antiquarian books to U.S. libraries.Charles Tuttle came from a distinguished New England publishing family. His father ran Tuttle Antiquarian Books" one of several Tuttle companies in Rutland that had been involved with printing and publishing since the 1830s. Charles Tuttle grew up working in his father's shop and maintained involvement in the antiquarian book trade throughout his life, dealing in rare family genealogies and early editions of books on Japan, New England and Hawaii. His interest in publishing "quality" books on Japan and Asia and his keen eye for design and editorial matters as a publisher grew out of an appreciation for the valuable antiquarian books that he dealt with as a youth.Since its founding in 1948, Tuttle has published more than 6, 000 books and today maintains an active backlist of around 2, 000 titles.

Tuttle many years ago" to publish fine books which connect the cultures of the East with the West and provide greater understanding between the two.
