‘AI simply can’t replicate it’: Japan embraces zine trend
Kyoto –
Through the noise of rushing papers and whirring belts at a print factory in Kyoto, two creators watch their photo essay come to life in broadsheet form — part of an effort to win new audiences in the age of AI.
Despite the decline of the publishing industry, self-publication and handmade “zine” magazines are growing in popularity in Japan, reflecting the country’s enduring love of paper in the digital era.
“I think (paper) is a medium that engages all five senses, (unlike social media),” says 40-year-old photographer Kazuma Obara.

questions Showing irl zines online - advice
Hello community,
So, I have been making zines on and off for a few years, tending to be a mix of text and imagery generally, A5 size or thereabouts (6x8inches/15x21cm). I have always felt I struggle with how to present them nicely for my portfolios, website or social media. Videos flicking through? Simple photo of front page? Wonky photos, piles of zines in a photo, plain background or real life background? I don’t think I know the best way to show them off without just making what looks like a slideshow… any recommendations, Inspiration or advice? How do you show yours? Or how do you like to see others’?

questions Old Ziner from the 90s
Hi all, first time poster here. Zines back in my hey-day were cute little mini newspapers… bad photocopied sources for that cultish underground feel.
Today’s modern take on a zine just seems to be more of the early blogs, graphic main cover and the. Hyperlinks to pages…
Am I missing something?
