In front of Lbio, right next to the Kita Library in Kita Ward, Nagoya, there will be a pop-up sale of zines, used books, and miscellaneous goods. I was invited and decided to join at the last minute — so grateful!! My new zine, "Grandparents' House", is a story about a stigmatized property set in my real grandfather's house. I'm happy that the true ghost story "Unknown" seems to be popular at Lbio... I'll bring that one too! I'll also bring some of my back issues. I'll be bringing lots of handmade items — book pouches and other pieces that should be great for spring and summer — so if you're nearby, please stop by!

ZINE "Me and the War" and a supplement set A5 size 32 pages Through this wordless picture book, I prepared myself to put an end to war. I created it hoping for a world where children are not killed by war, and with the wish that this world might move even one or two steps in a better direction.

I create horror fiction as zines

This is a talk event where book lovers Henri Ohara and Ruko talk at length about their love of reading. Enjoy the conversation between the two, who read widely across genres. After the event there will be a signing session with both of them.

I consider methods for expressing the spaces where quantum mechanics and animism intersect.

This zine collects the subtle differences found among ostensibly identical items. We observe those differences—different shapes but the same contents—through photographs and sketches. It also covers subjects ranging from urban structures to food, experimenting with layouts that unsettle the sense of scale.

Zindies, the online service that connects zines, creators, shops, and readers, is rapidly evolving! This time, four members of the Zindies project will gather in Nagoya to show everyone how to use it! We welcome creators, shops, and readers to join us!

This book was born from the daydream of "what if I opened a wagashi shop?" Drawing a little on my real experience making wagashi in a shop, I tried to turn the scenes and sensations I encountered in the seasons into sweets, one by one. The blooming of flowers, the steady falling of rain, the shimmering of light. I wanted to shape those ordinary seasonal moments so they could fit in the palm of your hand. I hope that as you turn the pages you will feel the daily changes and the presence of the seasons.
