Shūkan Asahi (週刊朝日) is a Japanese weekly magazine published from 1922 to the present (2007) and that has published advertisements for cameras cited within Camerapedia. Its title means "Weekly Asahi", "Asahi" being the publisher of the newspaper Asahi Shinbun and the magazine Asahi Camera.
Shūkan Asahi started, as a thrice-monthly magazine, on 25 February 1922. From 2 April of that year it came out once a week. In the late 1950s its sales were up to 1.5 million per issue; by early 2006 they had fallen to 0.2 million.[1]
Shūkan Asahi is similar to Sunday Mainichi in combining soft news, decorous stories about celebrities, articles about cooking and so forth, and a front cover depicting a conventionally attractive young girl. Its publisher has at times complemented it with other, more substantial weekly news magazines, notably Asahi Journal (朝日ジャーナル, Asahi Jānaru, 1959–92).[2]

In Japanese:
- Shūkan Asahi at asahi.com
- Shūkan Asahi at Japanese-language Wikipedia. At present (early 2007) virtually all of this very long article is devoted to a chronology of the starlets who have appeared on the front cover since 1980.
