Book - Japan Vogue, 1980 Fall

Japan Vogue is one of the earlier knitwear magazines focused on machine knitting. It includes dozens of patterns for women, men and children in most issues. The women's designs often include two-piece outfits, while the sweaters seem to be more oriented for formal or business wear than U.S. patterns, which often seem more casual. 
If you aren't certain if you can read a Japanese pattern, see our guide, here. It includes sample pages plus advice on how to use Google Translate to read the Japanese text. The advent of Artificial Intelligence has also given non-Japanese speaking knitters a new tool for translations. Again, see our guide.
