SNOW Magazine | Tokyo, Japan

By Midya Tsoy

The other day while browsing online, I discovered a unique online magazine called SNOW Magazine. It was a very worthwhile accident as this Tokyo-based publication features cool and fascinating articles covering the latest fads in art, music, technology, food, film, fashion, interior design, travel, comics, crafts, and much more!

In a true megalopolis like Tokyo, there is always something exciting and new going on. Snow Magazine truly shows all of Tokyo's colours, bringing out all of its glory - even the layout is modern, yet still has a hint of the traditional Japanese feeling to it. It's the perfect blend of the old and the new, which is what makes it all the more interesting. Even though Japan is a highly modernized country, it still maintains a high level of tradition.

Snow Magazine's founder, writer and editor, Jean Snow, lives and breathes design, pop culture, and gaming in Tokyo - sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He also serves as editor-at-large at Neojaponisme , a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Along with spinning music as a DJ at a series of events at Cafe Pause and contributing to Arcade Mania, it's no wonder he created such an intriguing magazine. Jean Snow is a man dedicated to what he loves to do.

Snow Magazine is similar to Schema in the sense that it's a collection of personalities. I see Schema bringing out all the diversity, or "ethnic cool" people and things that surround us, while SNOW Magazine is dedicated to the things that are being introduced and developed within Japan's "cultural landscape." Both publications are definitely worth checking out!
