Kyoto Journal, a non-profit quarterly established in 1987, reaches far beyond Japan's ancient capital to be your gateway to understanding and appreciating thought-provoking aspects of the lifestyles, cultures and societies of Japan and Asia.
Here (in addition to some books and gifts), you can access current and past issues, dating from 1987 to the present. Many are in print format, but some exist only in digital form, downloadable as PDFs.
Our present (post-Covid) publishing schedule includes one print and two digital issues per year.
