Tokion

TOKION magazine (I’ve linked to the shop as the home page seems to be down right now) is back in Japan after a 2 year absence. Although they kept publishing an American edition, it seems that the Japanese edition had disapeared because of problems with their distributor. But now, with issue of 37, there’s a brand new Japanese edition on the stands here. Major difference is that the magazine is not bilingual anymore, and that they are going to continue with seperate Japanese and English (for the US) editions as they feel it lets them put more pictures and feature longer articles. I checked both and they do share many articles, but the Japanese edition seems to have a lot more content. Also of note is that they’ve opened a new Tokion shop in Nakameguro (and if you’re in the area, also check out the Gas design shop).
