For issue 03, we are inspired by the writings of Soetsu Yanagi on the aesthetic value inherent in the ordinary. Yanagi, a prominent figure in the Mingei (Folk Craft) movement, was inspired by the work of artisans that he encountered on his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea. He reminded us to pause, observe, and find profound beauty in the simplicity of the everyday.

In this upcoming issue, we invite contributors worldwide to explore the ordinary wonders surrounding us, celebrating the timeless elegance found in everyday objects, customs, and moments of quiet contemplation.
