About Fushigi!
The Fushigi Times is a Slow Media project from Tokyo, Japan — offering bold, reality-grounded perspectives on global affairs, cultural explorations, and creative thought.
We’re not here to chase trends or explain the world in 500 words or less. We’re here to dwell in its richness.
At the heart of this publication is the Japanese word ふしぎ (fushigi) — meaning mysterious, uncanny, wondrous, strange. But more than that, it's a feeling. That flicker of curiosity when something doesn't quite fit — and instead of dismissing it, you lean in.
That lean is what drives us.
The Fushigi Times blends deep reportage with cultural nuance and literary flair. Imagine FT Weekend crossed with C.S. Lewis, filtered through the lens of an offbeat philosophy salon. Expect thoughtful provocations, unexpected perspectives, and the occasional architectural or archaeological subplot.
We’re proudly Slow Media: resistant to algorithmic urgency, allergic to easy answers, and anchored in the belief that meaningful journalism requires time, depth, and a touch of wonder.
We don’t chase certainty. We sit with complexity.
Expect global affairs with context, culture with bite, and ideas that refuse to flatten.
So What’s Next?
That’s easy. Slow down your life with us!
