Pen Magazine

Pen Magazine International is a lifestyle publication based in Tokyo. Our goal is to share inspiring stories that reflect Japan's creativity, highlighting the best in arts, culture, design, food, and travel. Founded in March 2017, we are a branch of Pen, a highly regarded lifestyle magazine in Japan that has been influential for over twenty years since its inception. Our name pays homage to the art of writing by hand, a practice that once held great significance before the rise of digital communication. The pen symbolizes the power of storytelling and the responsibility of its writer. We celebrate those who challenge traditional norms, blending luxury with individuality, and find joy in their creative processes. At Pen Magazine International, we focus on the dedication, passion, and meticulous detail that goes into each piece of creativity. Join us as we share captivating stories for those with a creative spirit.
