About SEIN, Sigma’s Original Print Magazine
Originally launched in 2014 as a quarterly print magazine, SEIN was distributed free to readers throughout Japan. The name of the magazine comes from the German word ‘SEIN,’ meaning “to exist” or “to be,” reflecting Sigma’s belief that photography allows individuals to broaden their points of view and see the world in novel and interesting ways. So far, Sigma has published 13 issues of the magazine in Japanese and English, all created completely in-house, affirming the company’s longstanding commitment to creating quality products.
