monthly publication that dedicates each issue to one well-balanced brand unearthed from around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e The magazine introduces the brand's hidden stories, as well as its sensibility and culture, and is an easy but also serious read for anyone with an interest in brands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Issue\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Welcome to the 67th edition of B.\u003cbr\u003e Around this time of the year, spring shifts into summer, and last year it was at this time when we released our Portland issue.\u003cbr\u003e And this year, we focus on another city, Kyoto.\u003cbr\u003e It's the second Asian city we've covered, with our hometown of Seoul taking first, as well as the first Japanese city we've spotlighted.\u003cbr\u003e Considering all the Japanese brands B has covered, from Snow Peak and Porter to Tsutaya and Balmuda, maybe selecting a Japanese city was akin to a rite of passage.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout my travels to Japan for both business and pleasure, I saw Japan as a country I was familiar with.\u003cbr\u003e Now, having taken a good, long look at Kyoto made the city seem like a mystery. \u003cbr\u003eSpeaking with various walks of life living in the city, each person we met made it feel as if we'd encountered yet another layer to uncover.\u003cbr\u003e With some cities, you peel back the elaborate packaging and realize the exterior was all there was to see.\u003cbr\u003e Conversely, some cities do not try to show off to the outside world, but reveal a dense, rich world once inside.\u003cbr\u003e Kyoto is definitely the latter.\u003cbr\u003e It offers a definitive contrast to Japan's capital city of Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e While Tokyo glitters with things that seduce your eyes and your heart, Kyoto is a place where those things are quietly and calmly put together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This calm surrounding provides you with time to focus on yourself.\u003cbr\u003e It's not easy to do this in a modern urban existence amidst continuous stimulation.\u003cbr\u003e It's even harder in today's era where virtue is placed in trivial things like indulging in each passing emotion?or partaking in superficial, bite-sized experiences.\u003cbr\u003e Yet Kyoto and its people do not waver. \u003cbr\u003eThe city stands firm in that face of the waves of foreign capital and tourists that flock to its attractions like moths to a flame.\u003cbr\u003e That's why outsider visitors are forced to adopt the stance of an observer.\u003cbr\u003e In a way, Kyoto makes current travel trends of “living like a local” seem silly at best.\u003cbr\u003e We at B also tried our best to sit back and observe during our stay in the city.\u003cbr\u003e It's the reason why we followed the pattern of a typical tourist: arrive, wake up in a hotel, take a walk, stop for some coffee, go to the market, and eat at a restaurant that uses locally grown ingredients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We also meet people in the up and coming generation who preserve their city's traditions.\u003cbr\u003e Although it may not seem incredibly exceptional to continue a family business in a city that boasts a plethora of workshops and shops with 200 or 300 years of history, the?young Kyoto creators who have incorporated fresh influences into their crafts are undoubtedly incredible people. \u003cbr\u003eOur conversations with them gave us a new perspective on “tradition.” Kyoto preserves traditions like historical sites and old buildings, but it also retains its beauty and its eye for beauty, as well as the technical skills required to produce beautiful things.\u003cbr\u003e As Kyoto served as the country's capital for a thousand years, it's only natural that the city developed an advanced culture.\u003cbr\u003e But this culture isn't just present in its museums and storage facilities but in the everyday lives of its residents? something you don't see in?every city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although Japan has many culturally rich cities, the quality of cultural life in Kyoto seems to?be exceptionally high.\u003cbr\u003e You could even say there's a certain “Kyoto standard” when it comes to cultural identity.\u003cbr\u003e The beauty found in an exquisitely preserved garden of a Buddhist temple isn't much different from that of a flower pot resting on someone's front porch?in Kyoto. \u003cbr\u003eThere's also virtually no gap between the attentive service you get from a small shop in a market and the hospitality you feel in a high-class kaiseki restaurant.\u003cbr\u003e You could say that they all have come to a good agreement in what kind of a city Kyoto should be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This synchronized vision is very important when determining the character of a brand.\u003cbr\u003e When designers, marketers, management, and employees all understand the same direction and objective,?you achieve unified discipline, and it's that kind of discipline that makes good brands.\u003cbr\u003e In that respect,?it makes one wonder if there's any other city with a brand image as distinctive as Kyoto.\u003cbr\u003e We hope that the city continues on its path built by solid craftsmanship, a unique pace, and determination.\u003cbr\u003e Sometime in the not too distant future, I hope to enjoy the city again through the slow, relaxed steps of a traveler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e
