Welcome to the very first issue of the Chronicle Society.
For our inaugural edition, we’re travelling to Japan, exploring three fascinating stories from its history. From remarkable people and intriguing events to forgotten details and moments that shaped the country, this issue is designed to take you beyond the history books and uncover stories you may never have heard before.
Inside your Chronicle, you’ll find three carefully researched stories, accompanied by historical photographs, collectible cards and other pieces created especially for the Society.
Every issue is designed to be something you can read, enjoy and collect, with a new destination and a new collection of stories arriving each month.
This is Issue 01, the beginning of the Chronicle Society and the first piece in what we hope will become a fascinating collection of history from around the world.
Research the past. Discover the stories. Build your Chronicle.
