We also pay close attention to pricing so that readers can actually purchase and use the products featured in the magazine. I’m pleased that over the past 15 years, we’ve been able to create a genre out of the vague concept of “lifestyle” and that it has become recognized by so many people. Furthermore, it was impressive that the magazine was able to go beyond the boundaries of a magazine and express the worldview of “Linen” in various areas of daily life, such as supervising housing and producing bread, as a new initiative. “Linen” will continue to take on various challenges, so please keep an eye on it. ■Introducing some of the new products and ideas that “Linen” creates, going beyond the boundaries of a magazine, with the concept of “careful and comfortable living.” Comfort from “clothes” Image
