Since its launch in 2007, Monocle has maintained a deep and meaningful relationship with Japan. From day one, the magazine has had a Tokyo bureau—which now also houses a Monocle store and radio studios—directed under the watchful eye of Fiona Wilson, head of the Asia bureau.

Over the past decade, the magazine has developed a unique understanding of and a genuine passion for this country. It has covered a wide range of topics: from a journey aboard the imperial plane and the best places to eat in Kagoshima, to fashion designers reaching new heights of excellence and companies with fascinating stories that, until now, remained unknown outside Japan. This new book reveals the best of the country on the eve of the 2020 Olympic Games. With its stunning photography and compelling essays, it offers a unique showcase of a nation that, for many, remains a mystery.
