SŌEN MAGAZINE Issue 03

The third issue of SŌEN MAGAZINE, the studio's biannual editorial publication. Issue 03 collects essays, interviews, and visual essays under the theme of 'Slow Tools' — examining how craft objects, software, and field instruments shape long-form thinking.

The issue runs 192 pages and is printed in two colorways across a single signature, with bilingual essays and a removable insert documenting the studio's recent material experiments. Contributors include guest writers from architecture, software, and traditional craft backgrounds.

Issue 03 is available in select bookshops in Tokyo, Kyoto, and overseas, and through the studio's mail-order list.
