SETOUCHI
The latest second issue focuses on the “Setouchi” area around the tranquil Seto Inland Sea—the coastal cities and the thousands of scattered islands. The region is rich in modern crafts, which have evolved from local traditions as well as a surprising mecca for Japanese modernist architecture.
