Wasshoi! Magazine #1

Published on Nov 18, 2020

Wasshoi! Magazine

Wasshoi! aims to discover and explore the lesser-known aspects of Japan, by presenting a variety of insights into multiple topics. We hope that our magazine will inspire our readers and help in deepening knowledge and understanding of this complex country, its society, and its culture(s). In addition, the word interdisciplinary - included in the magazine’s sub-heading - reflects the reality that Japanese studies, while bound by one language, are an amalgam of different academic disciplines. Therefore, we will present Japan from different perspectives throughout this magazine. Wasshoi! strives to implement two additional features: bilingual articles (in English and Japanese) and regular contributions from scholars, which will be highlighted as keynotes.
