I've long seen this magazine in Tower, HMV and other foreign selling bookstores in Japan, so I went the whole hog and picked up a few of their back issues.
It's billed as Japans International Arts & Culture magazine,
while it does have some very culturally interesting articles, some of
the arts features are definitely aimed at more feminine audiences - I
just can't whip enthusiasm up for new ranges of Jewellery with
traditional Japanese designs. Saying that it does feature some nice
articles on general design, food and architecture.
I'm not sure I'm its target audience, seems aimed at the Rich
Roppongi expatriate crowd, though it does have interest for common old
Joes like myself.
Definitely one to subscribe to if I ever return back to blighty
