Exploring Tokyo like a True Tokyoite – well at least from my perspective. To permanent city dwellers, I probably looked like a very lost Gaijin. On the Shinkansen ride to Tokyo I thought about Hiroshima, Naoshima, Kyoto, and all the random locations I had adventured through around the country and I became very excited because … Continue reading →

The Y, Y-Mag, E-Mag, whatever the name, it is complete! A group of five came together and created this magazine idea we called Y.

Barefoot Gen In school we have been studying WWII and the affect of nuclear weapons in general, and specifically in Hiroshima. However, TGS took a new approach and ditched the history text books.
