Science Milk Clown

My interest in Japanese magazines has been waning of late with the demise of Relax [nmca] and the rarity and random publishing dates of titles such as Beikoku Ongaku and OK Fred (Can I recommend the Radio OK Fred Podcast to you? Oh, I just did.) or at least that was the case before I found the latest edition of Special magazine [specialmagazine.jp]. ¶ Already a contender for fave new magazine of the year, mainly for devoting most of the front section to amazing treehouses – how cool is that. Special seems to have been put together to promote clothing label, ‘Normal’ [normalweb.jp]but goes way beyond being another glamorous catalogue, with well thought out and executed features and organic craft related imagery. There is some text in English too, so you won’t feel totally left out. I’d love to know what the feature titled ‘Science Milk Clown’ is about though.
