KINFOLK (Quarterly): Vol. 13
KINFOLK (Quarterly): Vol. 13
Description
Book Introduction
Kinfolk, an emotional magazine that covers the beautiful moments of life.
In vol.13 we talk about imperfection.
Everyone tries to live a clean and organized life, but reality often turns out differently than expected.
It was the same with Kin Folk.
It was a period of ups and downs, with ups and downs, for three years after its launch.
Through these trials and errors, I also stumbled upon a harvest.
So in vol. 13, which is also an unlucky number, we talk about imperfection.


Navajo Indians incorporate deliberate mistakes when weaving cloth.
In Japan, there is a pottery technique that uses gold leaf to highlight the cracks in the pottery.
Mistakes are a fascinating subject even for prima donnas and culinary masters.
From a sour taste to a bumpy fence to a scrap of fabric on a cardigan, tiny imperfections are beautiful byproducts of life.
So feel free to make mistakes.
Make it messy.
Because you have nothing to lose.

Publisher's Review
“Everything in the world has cracks.
“Light seeps through that gap.”
- Leonard Cohen

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 created, becoming 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 is celebrating its third anniversary, talks about the imperfections of life in Vol. 13.
Everyday life is filled with mistakes, big and small, like mismatched socks, burnt toast, and crooked hair.
Sometimes life can become more mature when we wisely embrace imperfection.
Also, things that seem perfect sometimes turn out to be full of flaws when you look closely.

This issue features a kitchen full of delicious failures and the art of intentionally incorporating mistakes.
We also hear from gymnastics judges and restaurant critics who judge perfection.
It also covers how to do your own haircuts, how to bring out the charm of old clothes, the small differences between twins, and minimalist interior design.
Kin Folk now embraces possibility and celebrates the flaws that arise in the process of creating memories.
