New issue: ku:nel vol.52

The latest issue of the popular Japanese lifestyle magazine ku:nel is now available from UGUiSU online store. The cover photograph is so tempting that it makes me crave for good coffee! Yes, this is the coffee issue and features many great coffee shops all around Japan (it even has a "coffee map" at the end of the magazine with a list of good coffee shops in Japan) and people's coffee styles. Great issue actually!

The new issue of Tennen seikatsu magazine is also available now.

More lifestyle magazines from Japan: Kurashi no O-he-so & Liniere Home

There are so many natural living lifestyle magazines in Japan these days, come home, ku:nel and tennen seikatsu have been the main and popular ones at UGUiSU. I don't know if anyone has noticed but I have been adding more new ones to UGUiSU's magazine selections and these 2 have just been added to the UGUiSU online shop tonight.

Kurashi no O-he-so vol.12
Kurashi no O-he-so focus on lifestyles and ways of living that happen from people's own habits and culture. "O-he-so" means bellybutton in Japanese, so the title "kurashi no o-he-so" literally means "bellybutton of the lifestyle".

Liniere Home vol.4
Liniere Home is a lifestyle version of a natural style fashion magazine Liniere that is popular with natural style fans in Japan. This magazine features various creators and artists natural style home & interior and introduces their charming lifestyles.

Texts in both magazines are in Japanese, but they are filled with lots of beautiful and inspiring photographs with great styling.
