Introducing Issue 59:<\/p>\n
Issue Fifty-Nine of Kinfolk considers the meaning of \u201cclean\u201d as a ritual, a feeling and an instinct. If you\u2019re starting to think about spring cleaning, you can read our longform essay, which examines how clean we really need to be; or else find solace in Dirty Habits, which turns its attention to the universal pockets of imperfection we all have\u2014dead plants, missing mugs or a junk drawer.\u00a0We chart the boom in public bathing culture among younger generations in Tokyo and ask five perfumers and an expert to identify what \u201cclean\u201d actually smells like. We also meet David Bronner, whose soap company has taken on a life of its own: a family business turned countercultural force. And while you may expect to see an issue full of \u201cclean lines\u201d and minimalist design, we instead speak to Leonard Koren, one of the world\u2019s leading aesthetes, who has an entirely different proposition.
\nElsewhere, we meet Jessie Ware\u2014the down-to-earth, bluntly funny British pop star who turned her mother\u2019s weekly Friday night dinners for family and friends into a beloved podcast. Plus, our contributors spend time with a dry cleaner, a dermatologist and a saxophonist, ask whether culture is dead, and try to make sense of Theseus\u2019 paradox.<\/p>\n
