Ode magazine said recently of Kyoto Journal (Perspectives from Asia): “The peaceful, stylish design is just as original and scintillating as the magazine’s approach to the ideas, interviews, poems and discussions it contains…. Kyoto Journal is forever looking for original ways of depicting people and life … We recommend it highly.” How has this highly regarded English-language magazine thrived for nearly two decades, staffed wholly by volunteers? Come and meet John Einarsen, KJ’s award-winning art director who, in words and pictures, will tell the story of KJ’s origins, evolution, and remarkably organic approach to content, theme, and design.
