Produced based on the concept of ``writing and drawing the stories of Japanese gods on Japanese paper.''
The memorable first issue is set at Yakihi Shrine in Nishinoshima, Oki Islands, Shimane Prefecture.
Here we have played the world of "Oki Islands Kagura", which was dedicated at the regular festival on July 23, 2022.
[Shorin version]
The cover used was Sekishu kozo paper, dried on a sun board.
The same space-time is expressed from different perspectives on the front and back sides.
The style will be completely different.
The English translation on the back is by Yuko Takebe.
It's the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand, and we hope you enjoy it while feeling the warmth of Japanese paper.
