Japanese Magazines

I am a big magazine fan - I subscribe to Vogue and Elle and I read Look and Grazia weekly as we have them delivered at work. Sometimes I find myself unable to concentrate on any of the articles though, and just flick through without really reading anything. I think its because I go through phases of getting a bit bored with the layout and sometimes feel like I'm reading the same stories from week to week/month to month. So I am so happy that I found magazines that are an absolute joy to flick through because they are so filled with visual delights - its like reverting back to childhood and looking at picture books. These wonderful magazines are native to Japan and are very hard to come by in the UK. My boss bought some back from China last year and that's how I discovered their amazingness! I love Japanese culture and these magazines are just brilliant - the pages are just jam packed with pictures and cute things - you almost don't know where to look. And the best part? No reading involved as I can't read Japanese characters!! I get my magazines whenever my boss comes back from China, and I also found them in a little magazine store near where I work, but *warning* they are VERY expensive indeed to buy, as they have travelled a long way to be here. However, I think its totally worth it as they are so fun to read, and I save magazines so they are great to have in my little collection. If any of my readers is interested in purchasing any, I would be more than happy to get them from my little magazine shop - just email me :) Have a look at some of these lovely big scans and you can see just how brill they are! Kawaii!
