June is but a passageway to hotter days as we look forward to a return of outdoor summer fun without masks. One event that gloriously returned in full was the Tōkyō Rainbow Pride, which we are very happy to feature in this month’s edition. Remember June is Pride Month–a celebration of diversity throughout the world. We also feature wood artisan and craftsman Daniel Mansson, whose works combine Japanese traditional aesthetics in a modern form. Read more about Daniel’s beautiful designs inside. As the French philosopher Sartre wrote, “To read a poem in January is as lovely as to go for a walk in June.”
