Japanistic/Blog

I think I’ve mentioned that we are in the long term planning process for a trip to Japan. Of course, I’m always looking for the best travel help I can get–or  maybe just the most fun. This morning I am wishing I could get my hands on these Zines featured on Upon A Fold.

First, a gorgeous phrase book, made with hand-cut rubber stamps by artist Riyo Kihara.

Personally, I think I’d just frame it, but only after memorizing the helpful phrases!

And I’m sure I’d find plenty of fun hints in this adorable Tokyo guide by Ebony Bizys.

Clearly, Zines have come a long way since I got that one about Evil Knievel from the guy who worked at Kinkos. (For more on the Zine Fair, visit Upon A Fold.)
