In the Spring of 2002, Knee High Media, Japan began working on Papersky magazine. Since then Papersky has steadily amassed a sophisticated, well-informed and progressive readership drawn to the magazine’s distinctive celebration of a life of travel. Papersky is a record of the spirit of the places or Sky’s it passes beneath as passing through the pages of the magazine is a journey in itself. Papersky is a door to the world and each issue features unique stories and stunning photography which offers readers the sensation of travel, inspires them to actually make a trip and shows them a different way of doing it. Published by Knee High Media.
FRESH as in REDESIGN! Papersky, after traveling the world for some eight years has re-designed the magazine. Papersky continues to celebrate the idea originally proposed by the renowned engineer, philosopher and artist Buckminster Fuller. That is, The One – Town World. Fuller's Dymaxion map is on the cover to express this shared vision. Fuller’s map is the only map that doesn’t cut any countries- it shows the world as one, it shows all the world’s oceans as one and does so on a scale more accurately than any other existing map. And if you cut the map and paste it together carefully, you get a miniature globe- amazing! In this issue Papersky flys over to Denmark for possibly the best cycle trip ever. The issue explores Copenhagen and the surrounding areas with seven original bike trips as well as takes an in depth look at the fleeting though still nostalgic, culture of Sento (Japanese public bath) here at home in Japan.
