Based in Hiroshima, the general incorporated association My Japan works to pass Japanese cultural tradition and the appeal of its regions on to the next generation. Its representative director is Lisa Mimura. A festival staged in a shrine, a walk up a mountain at dawn, a brush-making workshop: her work looks, at first, unusually broad. Yet all of it comes from a single aim...

He created album covers for many of Japan’s defining...
Born in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, Daichi Monden never left this land. Nearly forty years in television, and the years since he founded his own company. While so many set their sights on the capital, Monden stayed, and made the times where people gathered in this city.

Its rooms — renovated, yet still holding the grain of the old building — are where Karin Noda works, under the name Yokogawa Guild. Born in Hatsukaichi, she trained in ceramics and later wrote essays before she arrived at the material that would hold her: cloth. A kimono...
Long before “multimedia artist” became a job title anyone could claim, OOF — born Jaïs Elalouf — was already doing the thing itself: mixing sound, image, text, and other people’s attention into something that could only exist live, in a room, for the length of a show. He started DJing in 1992. Three decades later, the pseudonyms have multiplied — Zzouf, Lunivers, JAÏS, and...
Before he was an artist, Artist G studied the brain. Born in Lebanon in 1971, he holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and for years he taught cognitive science and art theory at a university in Beirut — a position from which he watched, at close range, how the mind constructs bias, category, and belief long before a person is aware of choosing anything at...

中村千尋は師匠に師事したことはない。しかし子供の頃から、筆が紙に触れた瞬間、彼女の中の何かが生き生きと動き出した。毎年、学校の課題や夏休みの課題で作った作品が表彰されたのは、彼女が訓練を受けたからではなく、ただ感性がそこにあって待っていたからだった。その後、デザインの道に進んだ。しかし、ある時、彼女は...
