Don Magazine is a community of artist from around the world based in Osaka, Japan.

Founded in 2022, Don Magazine is an all-volunteer production. Our team is composed of professionals, teachers, artists, designers, translators, and authors who share a deep appreciation for art and culture. With a thoughtful yet approachable tone, we aim to spotlight voices shaped by the everyday — from the streets of Osaka to communities around the globe. Whether it is a painter sketching at home before work or a poet writing notes on a late-night train, Don Magazine creates a space for creative expression.

Our mission is to cultivate a community that values creativity in all its forms. We provide a platform for emerging and underrepresented voices, foster meaningful dialogue, and encourage curiosity and collaboration across disciplines.
