Japan may be one of the world’s biggest economies, a global leader in everything from architecture to food and a country whose brands have flourished around the world, but it remains a bit of a mystery.
Somehow it is simultaneously familiar and hard to fathom – or it has been, until now.
This book is the culmination of years of reporting across the country by Monocle and it delivers a unique insight into the people, places and products that define Japan.
Whether you’re planning a visit or simply curious, The Monocle Book of Japan will unpack the nation for you. Monocle takes you from snowy Hokkaido in the north to the tropical southern islands of Okinawa and, along the way, deep-dive into the worlds of culture, design, retail and more.
It’s Japan revealed as never before.

About Monocle
Monocle boasts press bureaux in six cities, its own creative agency, a 24-hour online radio station, a formidable book-publishing partner in Gestalten, cafés in London and Tokyo, and brick-and-mortar stores around the globe.
The voice at the heart of Monocle is gentle, but authoritative. Reading its print magazine, or listening to one of its radio bulletins, is like listening to a friend — perhaps one a little bit older and wiser — as they narrate their adventures around the world in search of the best in life. It speaks confidently on a number of topics: business, politics, urban architecture, the state of modern journalism, the pleasures of fine cooking, or the mechanics of a beautiful watch. They’re attentive to the physical and mental pleasures of life. It’s an approach that makes ears prick up.
We were honoured to be the first to represent Monocle in Amsterdam through our precious store at De Clercqstraat, Amsterdam. We share a deep appreciation not just for life, but for a life lived well. Misc Store is the primary home of Monocle in the Netherlands, stocking a range of Monocle books, notebooks, writing tools and accessories. We’re excited to see what our partnership will bring to the Dutch stationery scene. For our international customers looking to buy Monocle online – nice to meet you. We ship internationally, after all.
