Relaxed! A super free-form tanka collection 🏝️ Like bobbing and floating on the sea, I hope you'll read it while loosening your body in that kind of mood. It's a collection of tanka. Not yet for sale.

Tracing the Contours

Tracing the Contours

This is a handwritten collection of poems made up of four very short stories and 22 sporadic poems, written as if gently tracing the contours of the memories and recollections in my head with a soft cloth—telling myself it's okay not to forget even while I want to forget the scent and the eyes of that day. 🪡📖

The Town of Memories — Matsusaka & Owase

The Town of Memories — Matsusaka & Owase

The quintessential landscape of my hometown, Mie— memories of people and the town that surface in my mind. In the 1950s (the Showa 30s), to a child's heart, the presence of everyone was the whole world. I quietly recorded the things that were gradually being lost in the passage of time.

R42 — Summer on the Kii Peninsula and the Ise Road

R42 — Summer on the Kii Peninsula and the Ise Road

At 17, I rode a bicycle— Tsu, Kumano, Owase, Matsusaka. Tracing the sea and roads of my hometown, Mie, this book records days of youth and memories of an era. The winds of the Showa era, the breaths of the people who lived on the land, and a boy's feelings. I have recorded 'that summer' left beyond National Route 42.

船木千滉 +1

船木千滉

For many years I worked on shipbuilding sites, watching the sea, people, machines, and the memories of the times. Now I write novels, essays, and ZINEs about journeys and the memories of places, and about the people I met in manufacturing settings. I have a fondness for the flashy, but I prefer modesty — I aim to create works that quietly remain in someone's heart.

Dosanko Days

Dosanko Days

At a snow sports day, realizing how clumsy you are while searching for mandarins buried in the snow. When someone says about butter-corn ramen, "I can't eat butter on carbohydrates—I'm afraid of the calories," you feel like asking, "Then is butter really not used in that tarako (cod roe) pasta of yours?" The helplessness of not being able to answer the origin of the name コーチャンフォー even though you often rely on it. A Dosanko essay written by an author born and raised in Hokkaido. Whether you live in Hokkaido or not, why not get a taste of Dosanko life? ☆As a bonus, one small bookmark-sized photo will be included.

Let's go to Ito-Yokado.

Let's go to Ito-Yokado.

"Ito-Yokado was not just a supermarket, but like a member of the family, like a part of myself — that sort of presence." (From the afterword) At the beginning of 2025, Ito-Yokado withdrew from Hokkaido. Ito-Yokado, which opened around the time the author was born and which the author's family had been using since before they had memories, was like a second home. Shopping at a supermarket may seem like an ordinary everyday routine, but whether in sickness or in health, the supermarket the author visited countless times alone or with family was one of those important places that went beyond "just a place to shop." In this zine, the author — who continues to love Ito-Yokado — passionately talks about what they felt while using Ito-Yokado, memories of Poppo and Famille, part-time work experiences, and products they want to recommend.

Diary of Meeting a Friend in a Story +1

Diary of Meeting a Friend in a Story

Saki and Shiori are high school classmates who have been friends for ten years. They love reading and always talk about books whenever they meet. The two decided to try an exchange diary focused on books! It's a casual, easygoing reading ZINE filled with loose, hand-drawn illustrations. I made it so that every time you read it, you feel like you're chatting with a friend (^-^)v

A Diary of Getting Lost in Stories with Friends

A Diary of Getting Lost in Stories with Friends

Friends Saki and Shiori, who have been reading books together since high school, tried doing a “book exchange diary”! The second installment is out. Reading retreats, late nights, detours, funny stories... and more. I've packed in the cheerful everyday moments shared with books. I'd be happy if you read it casually, like joining in on friends' conversations (^-^)v
