Project:

A special Japan-themed edition of Litro Magazine, with guest editor Naoko Mabon. Featuring poetry, stort stories and essays, this edition of the magazine is intended to highlight diversity of vision, talent, and life experience - showcasing Japan as a world-space, comprised of more than 6,800 islands, each teeming with its own stories of the past & imaginings of the future.

Support from Japan Society went towards translation, helping to introduce underrepresented international poets, short story writers, novelists, & essayists from around the world to tell their stories and to find their readers in the UK.
