New Tablet Magazine "Nordic Courier" Launches


The tablet magazine "The Nordic Courier," which conveys the "now" of the Nordic region from its home base, launches on Wednesday, June 25. It will deliver the latest information on Nordic lifestyles, design, and interiors—all popular in Japan—directly from Denmark.

Offering Deep, Unique Insights and Lifestyles from a Local Perspective


"Nordic Courier" sets sail with a focus on an interactive and user-friendly approach. Nordic-style design and aesthetics are highly popular in Japan, and there's often a shared sense of values, which inspired the creation of this magazine to deliver the "now" of the region. Featuring unique content curated by editors based in the Nordics, including Editor-in-Chief Annbritt Elvin Anahsen, the magazine plans to explore the innovations of Nordic culture.





It serves as the sole link for introducing Nordic lifestyles directly from the region, transmitting cutting-edge information on interiors, design, food, culture, travel, architecture, and more to Japan. Its mission is to deliver deep, unique insights that set it apart from other publications, all from a distinctly local viewpoint.

To commemorate its launch, a pop-up store is open at Isetan Shinjuku until Tuesday, July 15. Five iPads are installed within the venue of the Nordic fair "Nordic Hybrid Style – Nordic Design Past & Present CLASSIC & NOW!" currently being held on the same floor, offering visitors a chance to "preview" the inaugural issue.

"Nordic Courier" promises to bridge the 8,000-kilometer gap between the Nordic countries and Japan in an instant. This marks the birth of a new social media community showcasing the vibrant essence of the Nordics.
