Publisher's Review
Large, emotionally stimulating photographs, ample margins, simple and sophisticated fonts, and small episodes of everyday life…
Kinfolk is different from the traditional magazines filled with photos of models in fancy clothes and dense advertisements.
Rather than promoting the value of luxury goods, they deal with the simple stories of life in a new way.
'KINFOLK' means relatives or close people.
In Portland, Oregon, a diverse group of writers, farmers, photographers, designers, chefs, florists, and more have begun sharing their inspiring stories.
Many people who are fascinated by this have gathered here, and now it has become a large community, and even a new word, 'Kinfolk', has been coined, making it a cultural phenomenon.
Drink tea while watching the sunset, caress the scratches on your own furniture, and go on a picnic in the forest.
I prepare a feast for myself with oyster appetizers, and on weekends I prepare roast chicken for the whole family to gather around and eat.
These everyday things are the subject matter of Kinfolk.
《Kinfolk》 focuses on these moments that make life beautiful.
《Kinfolk》, which constantly ponders new things, decides to look at one country in vol. 8.
It explores the culture, traditional values, and modern lifestyle of Japan through the unique perspective of Kinfolk.
Paper folding, flower arranging, green tea, and traditional dyeing, all covered in this issue, have profound meanings that cannot be omitted.
Crossing the lines between past and present, crafts and modern architecture, philosophy and practicality, Kinfolk speaks of Japan in their own unique language.
