Aera, formerly known as Asahi Journal, is a Japanese weekly magazine printed in gravure, published by Asahi Shimbun. The magazine combines photographs and news stories. In May 1988, Aera replaced Asahi Journal with more weekly substance.
The cover story is called Person in Focus. Eiichirō Sakata takes cover photos for Aera, and since the person on the cover is the photographer, it is a self-portrait.
The title Aera is derived from the Latin word that means "era" in English, and a backronym said to mean "Asahi Shimbun Extra Research and Analysis."
Aera's advertisement in the Asahi features topical dajare (word play).
