The new issue of the ToCo zine is out now! This issue has the subject of matsuris, Japanese festivals. I chose to create a story about the food that is often found at festivals. I made a pattern for the inside covers in full colour…
The cover features dancers in tradtional costume, drawn by @odding.
I drew my illustataions in a loose sketchy pen and ink style, with annotations in both Japanese and English. They are stories and memories of matsuri food I’ve loved since I was a child.
These tasty snacks on sticks show the traditional to the modern. Tastes change, but the fact everyone loves a snack at a festival certainly doesn’t!
The zines are available direct from ToCo, or I have a few copies myself. ¥1000 plus postage. You can email if you’re interested!
