Yes that miranda july I saw at ii-ne-kore!
Lovely HelloSandwich Ebo-chan so kindly brought me a copy of Frankie current issue for me which I had cheekily requested. I picked up my first Frankie mag at Cairns airport last February when I was there on a 3-hour transit from Melbourne waiting for my next plane back to Tokyo. It surely saved me from dying of boredom! I was hoping to read more of it so I'm really happy to finally have a new copy of it in my hands :) (I just found out that I can buy it at Aoyama Book Centre... still it's nice to think it came directly to me carried by Ebony.)

Sweet Ebony even got me a copy of another great Australian magazine Dumbo feather, pass it on, I love how it's done, such inspiring designs and photographs it's really cool. Thank you Arigato so much Ebony-chan, you are the sweetest ;)

What are your favourite local magazines? I would love to find out about more cool mags that are published outside Japan!

P.S. Check out marie's shop now with some lovely new items!
P.P.S. New post here at hibika.blogspot.com (looking good)!

  4. ku:nel magazine looks amazing - at some point I want to buy a couple of back issues from you (if you deliver to South Africa?)
    Several of the magazines we get here are local versions of international publications, such as Elle Deco South Africa. But there is a local lifestyle/interior design magazine that I read regularly: House and Leisure http://www.houseandleisure.co.za/
    Enjoy!

  5. いつも素敵な色彩!ありがとうございます。色んな意味で勉強になります☆

    今はソウルですね。
    去年経験した東京の寒波はソウルに比べたらずっと耐えやすかったのですが、今年はまた違ったのでしょうか。
    ソウルは常に零下8ぐらいを維持しています。けれど、どうしてもこの寒さだけには慣れにくいみたいで一日でも早く東京の春を感じたいです^^

  8. Hi Hiki, I think I wanted the catalog of Mina Perhonen so much, that it arrived extra quick.
    I received it already today! It's beautiful, I like the post-it labels a lot as well, greetings Monique

  9. Hey there, I adore your blog--managed to find it quite randomly just now! I will be looking around here a bit later when I have some more time, and I will definitely be making some purchases from your lovely shop. I lived in Japan for six years and miss it sooooo much (especially the mooks)! Also, I've recently posted several times about German magazines that I like--Living and More is my favorite.

    araさん、東京は春のような日が来たと思ったらまた真冬に逆戻り。三寒四温と日本ではいいますが、寒い日と温かい日を繰り返してようやく春が来るんですね。
