Description
The Monocle team celebrates the endlessly fascinating and culturally rich country of Japan.
Ever since it launched in 2007, Monocle has had a rich and deep connection with Japan. From day one, the magazine has maintained a Tokyo bureau—now also home to a Monocle shop and radio studios—overseen by Asia bureau chief Fiona Wilson.
Over the past decade, the magazine has developed a unique understanding and passion for the nation. It has documented everything from a live journey on the Emperor's jet and the tastiest places to eat in Kagoshima to the fashion designers crafting new levels of excellence, as well as the businesses with remarkable stories untold outside Japan.
This new book reveals the best of the nation in the run-up to the 2020 Olympics. Complete with stunning photography and intriguing essays, it is a unique showcase of a country that for many remains a mystery.
