Thank you to all for your patience! Volume 4 of our literary magazine series, Kyoto Cryptids, has arrived at long last. We are very excited
Popping in to share our most recent publication over at Kyoto Cryptids 👀If you'd like a little Kyoto-based whimsical horror in your life, please consider giving our literary magazine a peek!
Hello, everyone! As we head into the autumn season (the current micro-season is 水始涸, or “Farmers drain fields”) , we have some exciting updates to share about our magazine. First, we wi…
Update on Kyoto Cryptids, since it’s been a hot minute!
Sakamoto Ryouma Judges You in CMYK (2022, marker and digital editing)
To avoid his judging eye, check out Kyoto Cryptids vol. 3 here!
In our fourth installment of rejected mascots, we have a bird-human doughnut hybrid. A human mouth but bird-like feet.
One question: why??
For more bird-doughnut adjacent content, check out Kyoto Cryptids Vol. 3, available now for digital download! Price is pay-what-you-can, and any funds will go towards printing our run of limited physical copies!

Read all about it in the short story The Department of Spiders, in Kyoto Cryptids Vol 3! It’s finally available for download here!

If you’re interested, please take a look! We have sneak peeks available here, and our volume 1 can be found here.
In the meantime, watch out for those geese. I hear they’re wild.
