KT ISSUE 13: BELONGING - Editors' Note
Written by & | Cover Design by

"We all find our own ways to belong. Komaba Times welcomes the spring of 2024 with the most multilingual and multimedia edition of our magazine yet. “Issue 13: Belonging” showcases writers, artists, and academics across the University of Tokyo’s campuses covering the gamut of what it means to belong. No two contributors to this issue agree on the concept of belonging. However, as difficult to grasp and unpack the word “belonging” is, the beauty of this issue lies in the polyphonous song composed of voices, minds, and hearts hailing from different origins, each on their journeys. A song, a magazine, and a story open to your interpretation emerge thanks to our differences. “Belonging” is a constant debate and tireless assessment of a given situation, wrapped up in associations with emotions, material things, ephemeral moments, technologies, and amorphous concepts."

KT ISSUE 13: BELONGING (article 1 of 17)

52 Years Across Room 900 by Chien-Cheng Chiu (James)
"Someone shouted through the megaphone. My superior in the Komaba Festival committee told us not to approach them, but I could not help myself. I hid behind the bushes and listened to their speech, anxious about what would happen next."
