Description
Since its debut in 2007, Monocle has maintained a close and enduring relationship with Japan. From the outset, the publication established a bureau in Tokyo — now home not only to its editorial base but also to a shop and radio studios — overseen by Asia bureau chief Fiona Wilson.
Over the past decade, the magazine has cultivated a distinctive perspective and enthusiasm for the country, reporting on experiences ranging from travelling aboard the Emperor’s aircraft to discovering standout dining in Kagoshima, as well as profiling designers redefining fashion standards and businesses whose stories rarely reach audiences beyond Japan. This book gathers those insights ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, presenting a vivid portrait through striking photography and thoughtful essays — an evocative introduction to a nation that continues to intrigue many readers.
