Outdoor styles are becoming increasingly polarized.
MONTHLY JOURNAL May. 2022 vol.1

The outdoor boom of the past few years has reached the highest point in Japan's outdoor history to date. In the process, more and more people have learned the basics of the outdoors and acquired knowledge of gear. And so now, outdoor styles are polarizing. Either you can enjoy the outdoors in luxury and without inconvenience, or you can enjoy the inconveniences of the outdoors and blend in with nature. This month's Monthly Journal explores these two styles of outdoor living.
