[japan jikkan Issue 004]
In addition to the feature articles, each issue of japan jikkan incorporates a theme colour and sound. Spring is here and in Japan nothing is more spring then the beautiful Sakura Flowers that shine an unprecedented ephemeral glow of happiness around the land. We minted in Sakura-iro for this issue. And our sound theme is Koijihama (lit. beach of love) is a scenic spot on Iragomisaki Cape, famous as the setting of Toson Shimazakis poem "Yashi no Mi" (Coconut).
