A zine by the members of "Yoru Kissa Dobon," a bar operating once a month out of a rented space in a bar in Kiyamachi, Kyoto. The members include QLITA (knitting artist), Shunya Komada (novelist), Chihiro Oka (design), and Yoshiki Ukai (monk). This issue features poems and essays related to "holes," including a 20-page short story "Ana Yawana" by Shunya Komada, author of "Tori no Yume no Baai," which was a nominee for the 173rd Akutagawa Prize and winner of the 68th Gunzo New Writers' Award. The handmade thread-bound binding is striking with its yellow thread on a blue background. Why not open this book during your cafe time and ponder about holes?
