Wochi Kochi (Japanese, Bimonthly Magazine)
Please note that our bi-monthly magazine “Wochi Kochi” has been discontinued as of December 2009. We would like to thank our readers for their support for the last five years.
Our new online magazine "Wochi Kochi Magazine" (in Japanese) has launched in August, 2010
Our Expectations for Start of a Magazine “Wochi Kochi”
We had for 30 years been making issues of a quarterly “Kokusai
Koryu” , until in October 2004 it was renewed to be released
as a bimonthly “Wochi Kochi”.
A term “Wochi Kochi” is a demonstrative pronoun for place and time, meaning in Japanese here and there or present and future and originates in a Japanese archaic word to the same effect.
The term “Wochi Kochi”accordingly represents not only our hope for promotion of mutual understanding with foreign countries through making Japanese language and culture known to overseas but also our expectation for the magazine to act as a cultural go-between both for nations and for people.
