Soft Sector February 1986

A new "transportable" computer from Sanyo featured on the cover of this issue. The MBC-675 was "to the best of my knowledge, at the time this is being written, the smallest IBM-compatible transportable on the market"; it did make do with "an excellent seven-inch display."

Striking chochin (paper lantern) antique obi, paired with a bold striped kimono.

Some of the lanterns seem to have hinomaru (rising sun) pattern. I wonder if this obi was a propaganda item?

A paper Japanese flag, featuring a white field with a large red circle, is held aloft by a person's right hand, fluttering against a vivid blue sky in stark contrast.

Hinomaru Flag on New Year’s Day・お正月の「日の丸」

Although the Hinomaru (日の丸 / "Ball of the Sun") was officially designated as Japan’s national flag through legislation in 1999 as the Nisshōki (日章旗 / "Flag of the Sun"), it had already been in use for centuries. References to its iconic design date back as early as 645, with the first written record appearing in 797.

Personally, I’ve always appreciated the colors and patterns of various national flags. The Hinomaru, in particular, fascinates me as a photographic subject due to its simple, minimalist design and striking contrast.

Hinomaru Asahi may not be affiliated with any clan, but his peppy personality can keep people’s morale up. He has a tendency to ramble on about things, but when things go down south, Maru is an excellent user of mystical fire.
