Main feature
Spring Flavors in Japan
Delectable regional treats usher in the season of renewal
Spring is when the snows melt, new life bursts forth, and the bounty of land and sea reemerges in delicious abundance. From spring and on into summer, fish fill Japan’s coastal waters and vegetables ripen in the fields. Spring-inspired delicacies appear on our tables, offering a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. From north to south, from mountain to shore, Japan boasts a wealth of regional culinary cultures that showcase the country’s variety of tasty spring foods.

Additional features
The Bath:A Place for Healing and Meditation
The Japanese bathtub is not just a place to cleanse the body. There is nothing more soothing to frazzled nerves, nothing more spiritually rejuvenating, than to sink into a wooden tubful of clean hot water and soak. Today Japan’s bath culture is gaining new fans and taking new forms overseas. Here we indulge in a total-immersion look at the culture of the Japanese bath.

Art of the Interior:The Byobu Folding Screen
The Japanese folding screen, or byobu, has the power to transform space. Simply placing a pair of byobu in a room will create a dramatically different visual context. Byobu art ranges from landscapes to calligraphy, and the style you choose will define the atmosphere of the room. A leading collector shares his ideas for incorporating these lovely screens into your own home decor.

Cherry Blossoms in Kyoto
Among Japan’s many renowned cherry-blossom viewing spots, Kyoto is in a class by itself. Where else can you admire these delicate flowers against a backdrop of so many historic temples and palaces? Flowering cherries come in many varieties, and Kyoto in springtime is famous for having one variety or another in bloom for nearly a month. Native Kyotoites take us on a stroll to some favorite local blossom-viewing haunts.

Main feature
Life on the Other Side:
Cultural and culinary arts in Hokuriku and along the Sea of Japan
Facing the Sea of Japan and separated from the country’s Pacific side by high mountains, the Hokuriku region is “Snow Country”: famous for its long winters, abundant nature, and ways of life perfectly suited to the environment. Seeking out local foods and local wisdom, we visit such destinations as Gokayama—a UNESCO World Heritage site—and Kanazawa, the center of the region’s finer traditional arts for centuries.

Additional features
Mingei Gone Abroad
Muneyoshi Yanagi (1889–1961) launched the Mingei (Folk Crafts) movement in the 1920s to celebrate the innate beauty of everyday utilitarian objects made by unsung craftsmen. Joined by British potter Bernard Leach and other early members, the movement soon spread beyond Japan’s shores, and its focus on the human spirit continues to enthrall people far and wide today. Join us as we travel to Switzerland to view an impressive private collection of these handicrafts.

Design-Forward Furniture Looks Back
Take equal parts contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship, mix them with the Japanese penchant for perfection, and what do you get? Brilliant collaborations, we say. Furniture and other household items born from this marriage of modern-day industrial design and age-old skills exude luxury, and discriminating decorators have taken note. We focus on these hybrid products made by artisans who share a commitment to quality.

Mission: Discover Japan‘s Fine Art
You’ve been to the Western and contemporary museums, and they’re well worth visiting again. But where to go for traditional arts unique to Japan? We team up with curators from around the country to present a comprehensive guide that reveals not only where to go, but how to look at what you’ll see when you’re there. Make the most of your time in Japan with this in-depth introduction to art appreciation.

Main feature
Woodland Wisdom:
Life and Design in Forest Country
Outside its cities, Japan is a nation covered with lush forests, an eco-friendly environment where woodcraft artistry has been nurtured in architecture and furniture, tableware and tiny wooden containers. Highly developed techniques and wisdom have been passed down for generations to bring forth ever-new ideas and challenges. KIE invites you to visit forests and communities suffused with a woodland aroma, to see a lifestyle enriched by wood designs and products.

Additional features
Cherry Blossoms in Sakuragawa
It has long been said that Japan’s most beautiful cherry blossoms can be found to the west at Mount Yoshino in Nara prefecture and to the east in Sakuragawa in Ibaraki prefecture. Yet Sakuragawa is still relatively unknown, which makes it an ideal spot for a springtime trip. The region’s wild cherries cover mountainsides and foothills, and its pristine views are breathtaking in beauty and magnificent in scale. We journey through Sakuragawa to view the sakura season’s full splendor.

Unveiling the Secret to Japanese Beauty:
A Lesson with Painter Yuji Tezuka
One of Japan’s most prominent painters today, Yuji Tezuka is known for his ability to draw out a “Japanese” composition from ordinary scenery. But what are his secrets to assessing and interpreting this Japanese view of the world? When and how did this tradition originate? Join KIE as we search for answers in historical and contemporary painting and discover a universal aesthetic viewed through Tezuka’s eyes. Japanese art will never again look the same.

Trekking 100 Renowned Peaks of Japan
100 Renowned Mountains of Japan, a book compiled in 1964 by the novelist and essayist Kyuya Fukada, has long been considered a bible for the country’s mountaineers. It explores the best hiking and climbing mountains across Japan, making each copy a veritable treasury of the nation’s far-flung peaks. Together with alpinist Junko Tabei, the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, KIE explores possible adventures on Japan’s finest mountains.
