A quarterly independent non-profit publication of 96-104 pages per volume (around 32 color pages). It is published four times a year, formatted in standard letter size (8.5 x 11"). We really enjoyed this magazine and wanted to make it possible for our readers to do the same. Kyoto Journal is an all-volunteer quarterly, publishing since 1986, offering alternative and thought-provoking perspectives on Asia through interviews, essays, translations, humor, fiction, poetry, and reviews, and accompanied by memorable photo-essays, original illustrations, and award-winning design. Reviewers say, "A graphic jolt of energy, each page is surprising and new" ... "Informative, lyrical and creative. Brilliant." A 1998 Utne Reader Independent Press Award winner. First-time subscribers are offered a bonus issue free of charge, as an extra welcome gift from the publishers.

As of November 2011, Kyoto Journal - Perspectives from Asia has gone digital!
