Here’s an old rare Final Fantasy VII doujinshi I bought some time ago in Nakano Broadway. It’s called “Perfect Blue” by Water Works. This was published in Japan in 1997, shortly after the release and the success of Final Fantasy VII. You can notice how different Zack’s appearance is, his hair are longer like in the original version designed by Nomura before Crisis Core. Personally, I find very interesting how back than fans and doujinshi artists perceived and portrayed the characters of their time. Back than Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth were just born. Now it’s different, the fandom is overgrown and the fan service is everywhere. The original 1997 Final Fantasy VII will be always something really special to me, something pleasantly nostalgic.

life passes in a kind of eternal waiting. waiting for films, books, series, events, people, buses. winter, spring, summer, autumn. calls, messages, meetings. salaries, warm weather, weekends. waiting for everything to change. waiting that one day everything will be fine. and you just have to stop waiting and finally start living.

Hello, May

Before I knew it, it is already May! I have finished planting summer vegetables in my kitchen garden and they have begun to grow. In Japan, wild vegetables are in season and our family enjoys them every day.

↑Japanese wild vegetables(Takenoko, Warabi, Mitsuba, Yukinoshita, Watercress)

I have recently uploaded these pieces to our web store.I still use old Japanese fabrics as materials, and sometimes combine old pieces from different countries in my work. I try to make good use of scraps from the production process. I also try to make clothes in a way that produces as few scraps as possible.

Recently Recently I made this. I made an apron from a vintage tablecloth. It's for me.

See you next issue!

Bunny train part 3!

This piece was heavily inspired by the station near to my house when I lived in Japan, and the station background is based on my memory of what the North Entrance looks like.

This brings this 3-part series to a close, but I’ll for sure be back for more soon!

Until then…

oh

that kind of season…

when the lotus blooms, a delicate beauty rising from serene waters

each petal unfolds like a whispered secret, revealing a dance of colors—soft pinks and whites, kissed by the sun

as the warm breeze gently stirs, these flowers become nature's poetry, a reminder of peace and the simple joys of a summer's day

in their presence, time slows, and the world feels at peace, bathed in the gentle glow of their elegance.
