Japan Is Full of Treasures
日本には寶がいっぱいあ〜る
The cover of this issue features Bunta Inoue’s "Reiwa Ukiyo-e," a modern take on traditional woodblock prints that layers today's fashion and values onto the timeless forms of the Edo period. Reflecting the theme "Japan Is Full of Treasures," it revives the original spirit of ukiyo-e—which functioned much like modern social media—to gracefully bridge historical aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities.
今号の表紙を飾るのは、江戸の心と型を核に据えながら、現代のファッションや価値観を大胆に重ね合わせた井上文太氏の「令和の浮世絵」です。「日本には寶がいっぱいあ〜る」というテーマのもと、かつて雑誌やSNSのように流行を発信していた浮世絵本来の精神を現代に蘇らせ、伝統と最先端の感覚をしなやかに融合させています。
