T magazine’s annual Culture issue — This year it is devoted entirely to Japan featuring six of the country’s icons, one of whom is nonhuman.

Artist & graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo made a collage featuring classic Japanese monsters (with Godzilla as the star) for his cover.

The other subjects —the Sanaa Jimusho architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, the author and television star Marie Kondo, the artist Takashi Murakami and the photographer Yasuma Samorimura — were shot by the photographer Piczo in various Tokyo locations at night, accompanied by models in spring looks from Japanese fashion designers wearing replicas of ancient Japanese masks, many of them from the tradition of Noh theater, which dates to the 14th century.
