In Next Issue .... November 2026

The November issue has a Japanese and Korean focus. We discover Japanese avant-garde ceramics, beauty in Utamaro prints, and shunga (Japanese erotic prints)  in Paris. We look at the Ten Kings of Hell in the afterlife of Medieval Korea during the Goryeo dynasty and the traditions of guardian tomb figures in Korea. We also explore Esoteric Shingon  Buddhism in Japan.

Elsewhere in the issue, there’s Japanese abstract paintings, contemporary Japanese textiles, and folk culture in North Korea. And we take in the work of Ha Chong-Hyun, Naoko Matsubara, and the art of Paul Jacolet.

Plus our usual round-up of auctions, museum exhibitions, and gallery shows.
