Analogue Letters โ€” Anne Murayama

$15.00 every month

A Return to the Tangible

In a world overflowing with digital noise, this is a space for slowness.

I am Anne Murayama, Founder & Director of Ephemere. Born out of a quiet, month-long period of reflection in Kyoto, this subscription is a return to the intimacy of physical photography and actual mail. It is a way for me to share my personal work and thoughts directly with you, far away from the algorithm.

To keep this sincere and manageable alongside my daily tasks at Ephemere, this circle is strictly limited to 25 subscribers.

๐ŸŒ Shipping Worldwide, Japan & International Postage Included

Whatโ€™s Inside Your Monthly Envelope:

๐Ÿ“ท 3 Curated Photo Prints: Printed on high-quality photo paper and personally signed. Each month brings a fresh curation, always presented as a triptych of three images. Most of them are never-before-seen frames, many of which have never been posted online or published in any of my previous photobooks, offering a deeply intimate look into my visual archive.

โœ๐Ÿผ A Personal Letter: Honest, behind-the-scenes thoughts, reflections, and anecdotes from my life and journey as an independent curator and publisher.

๐Ÿ˜ฝ Small Artifacts: Occasional little freebies I find along the wayโ€”unique stationery, ephemera, interesting postcards, or stickers. Plus, the charming bonus of cute Japanese Post Office stamps on your actual envelope!

Logistics & Guidelines:

โœ‚๏ธ The Cut-Off: To keep shipping manageable for me as a one-person team, please subscribe by the last day of the current month to receive the following month's envelope.

๐Ÿ’Œ Shipping: Envelopes will be sealed and shipped out globally no later than the 15th of the following month. For example: If you subscribe by May 31st, your envelope will be shipped by June 15th.

๐Ÿ“ฎ Delivery & Tracking: Please note that to keep this project accessible, all envelopes are sent via standard international airmail with no tracking numbers. Depending on where you are in the world, delivery usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. Keep an eye on your mailbox!

๐Ÿ„ Flexibility: This is a recurring monthly subscription, but you are completely free to pause, cancel, or restart your membership at any time through your account.
