KOJI Vol. 4 is a special edition that spans 284 pages (96 more than the previous issue).
Staying true to its independent spirit and editorial theme, it was shaped by the editor’s deepened reflection on the creative journey itself, further explorations into the fluid yet thrilling intersections of art, design, and craft, and gratitude for a growing community of readers worldwide. It continues to meet singular storytellers in Shanghai, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris, Munich, Antwerp, Porto, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen, and returns with a bold new curation of seven moon-inspired chapters—featuring the signature photo essay, eleven in-depth features on contemporary creative entrepreneurs, and a handcrafted illustration.
Created in collaboration with handpicked contributors, Vol. 4 is another collectible storybook, showcasing original works by independent photographers who share a passion for narrative imagery.
