Knowing antiques changes how you see the world. 49-year-old magazine 'Me no Me' proposes a modern form of refined taste.

We support 'April Dream', a day to broadcast dreams on April 1st. This press release is the dream of the antique and classic art media 'Me no Me'.

The one and only information media 'Me no Me' (Me no Me Co., Ltd.), which conveys the joy of antiques and classic art, has released its latest issue, the April & May 2026 issue 'The Feast of Shioge'. At the same time, we will promote our digital unlimited reading service covering all back numbers of about 600 issues since our founding, and our global expansion, to deliver topics of old and beautiful objects, people, history, and culture to fans who love Japanese culture both domestically and internationally.

Why we continue to convey 'Antiques and Classic Art' Some people may have the impression that antiques and classic arts are 'intimidating' or 'difficult'. However, the miracle that objects created by human hands in the past are still here after a history of one or two thousand years. The heart that is moved by its freshness and strength is deeply rooted in the sensibility of us Japanese, who have deeply conversed with objects since ancient times. 49 years since our founding. We at 'Me no Me' hope to be a 'door to an unknown world' that connects encounters with old and beautiful objects, people, and history through diverse platforms tailored to the times (print media, digital unlimited reading, SNS, YouTube).

'Me no Me' has long been read by enthusiasts and collectors, artists, researchers at art museums and museums, art dealers, and students studying art. In recent years, our readership with a high interest in traditional Japanese culture and performing arts, going beyond the framework of art, has expanded both domestically and internationally. We will deliver the profoundness of antiques and classic art in an easy-to-understand manner as a media that connects encounters with old and beautiful objects, people, history, and culture, not only to domestic fans but also to Japanese culture fans overseas.
