About Aesthetics
Aesthetics is the annual online journal edited and released by the Japanese Society for Aesthetics (JSA). The hardcopy of the international version was published every other year from 1983 (No. 1) to 2006 (No. 12), but we have made available an electronic version of the journal since 2009 (No. 13), in order to reach a wider audience. Contribution to this journal is limited to the members of the Japanese Society for Aesthetics until notified as otherwise.
Current Issue: No.21 (February 2018)
