magazine amirisu
Amirisu magazine was launched in 2012. It was started by just two people online before starting the company. It was bilingual from the beginning, in Japanese and English, and consisted of two parts: articles and knitting instructions.
It began printing in 2014, and is currently published twice a year as a magazine, with no online version. It is available in both Japanese and English. It is sold at some Tsutaya bookstores in Japan, and at approximately 200 stores in 24 countries overseas (as of January 2021).
It is packed with content such as patterns from domestic and international knitwear designers, interviews, sewing and other handmade projects, and craft city guides.
A new media called yomirisu online will start in June 2024. Accordingly, the magazine format will end with amirisu issue 27 (published in November 2023).
In the future, we will be publishing books as pattern books, and making the articles available for free on yomirisu online.
