Why we publish
Japan’s golf culture has been carried forward by generations who rarely wrote it down. The modern game in Japan sits on top of a quiet inheritance — courses shaped by volcanic ridges, craftsmanship perfected over decades in small workshops, and a code of play that favours pace, posture, and a respect for the ground.
Samurai Golf is the editorial we wanted to read and could not find. We publish on Japan’s standing courses, on the artisans whose hands still make the equipment played on them, and on the quiet wardrobes of the modern Japanese player.
The first full issue arrives Summer 2026. The best way to follow along is our newsletter.
