    The Spirit of Legends in Meiji Garden Masterpieces [Must-See Gardens Across 47 Prefectures: Hokkaido & Tohoku]
    Japan boasts a vast array of celebrated masterpiece gardens, categorized by prestigious titles ranging from official "National Scenic Beauties" to curated "Top 100" lists and the iconic "Three Great Gardens of Japan." From amongst these, our editorial department have chosen their favourite 'teiens' (landscape art) for each of the 47 prefectures! First, starting from the north, we will introduce famous gardens in the seven prefectures of Hokkaido and Tohoku (Aomori (青森), Akita (秋田), Iwate (岩手), Yamagata (山形), Miyagi (宮城), and Fukushima (福島)). All of them are an array of national-treasure-class famous gardens!

    The Epitome of Hanamachi Delivery Sushi! Richly Coloured Like Kyo-yuzen: Kyo-chirashi-zushi from ‘Izuu’, Kyoto [Chirashi Sushi for Early Spring, Part 1]
    While Chirashi-zushi (ちらし寿司) may at first glance seem modest compared to Nigiri-zushi, it is in fact full of fascinating secrets. In the Kansai region, the flavour is an extension of Hako-zushi (box sushi) or Oshi-zushi (pressed sushi), featuring no raw ingredients at all. Conversely, in the Kanto region, a unique style known as Barachirashi (ばらちらし) is preferred. In the first part of our deep dive into Chirashi-zushi — a celebratory feast reflecting local food culture — we introduce the beautiful Kyo-chirashi-zushi (京ちらし寿司) from the long-established Kyoto sushi house, ‘Izuu’ (いづう).

    Elegantly Innovated to Protect Your Kimono: Barachirashi at “Sushi-dokoro Futaba” in Tokyo [Chirashi Sushi for Early Spring, Part 4]
    While Chirashi-zushi (ちらし寿司) may at first glance seem modest compared to Nigiri-zushi, it is in fact full of fascinating secrets. In the fourth instalment of our deep dive into Chirashi-zushi — a celebratory feast reflecting local food culture — we visit ‘Sushi-dokoro Futaba’ (鮨処 二葉). This establishment follows the lineage of a shop in Kagurazaka (神楽坂) that is said to have created the prototype for Tokyo’s unique Barachirashi (ばらちらし). Both its appearance and flavour are truly sophisticated and classy.

    In Search of Clear, ‘Beautiful’ Sake. Midorikawa Sake Brewery【Experiencing the Best of Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture】
    Food is not merely for the preservation of life. It is a pleasure, a healing, a purpose, and a vitality. And at times, it is something that vividly revives memories of distant days. In search of that nostalgic flavour, I headed to Uonuma (魚沼) City, Niigata (新潟) Prefecture.

    The Birthplace of Kitsune Udon! Osaka’s Usami-tei Matsubaya (うさみ亭マツバヤ) 【Everyone’s Favourite ‘O-age-san’ 3】
    Tofu was introduced from China, and the practice of eating abura-age (油揚げ; deep-fried tofu) in Japan began around the Muromachi period. It is said that it first appeared on the dining tables of commoners during the mid-Edo period. With a longer shelf life and higher nutritional value than tofu (豆腐), abura-age remains an essential part of daily side dishes. While there are no specific defining characteristics of Osaka's abura-age, Kitsune Udon (Udon topped with slices of sweet abura-age) was born in this merchant city where the food culture of the common people flourished. The pioneer of this dish, Usami-tei Matsubaya (うさみ亭マツバヤ), still enjoys an impeccable reputation for its flavour today!

    Handmade, Hand-Fried Excellence from the Century-Old Kyoto Tofu Shop: Nanzenji Tofuya Hattori Everyone’s beloved “Oage-san,” Part 6
    With a longer shelf life and higher nutritional value than tofu, abura-age (油揚げ; deep-fried tofu) is a common ingredient in Japanese household dishes. When speaking of abura-age in Kyoto, it refers to the thick, large, hand-fried variety that is now famous nationwide. The shop 'Hattori (服部)' stands out as a representative of this craft.

    Horses Depicted with Ink Wash Painting｜The 2026 Chinese Zodiac Sign: The Horse and the Suibokuga Technique of “Sho-hitsu”
    Unlike oil painting, lines cannot be erased by layering pigment. In Suibokuga (水墨画, ink wash painting), the fleeting moment of the brushstroke is permanently etched into the work. In this series, we present footage that captures the hands of ink wash artist Samejima Tamayo (鮫島圭代), reminiscent of a live performance. Observe the ‘expression of the ink’—born from the interplay of intentionality and nature—through her decisive, swift brushwork and the gradations of bleeding and blurring.
