Is this a proper weblog?

What is a weblog, anyway? Let’s jump back a few years before we try to answer that question. Let’s recall the sense of endless potential that arose when we first put together a collage of typescript and cut-out pictures using a photocopier. Let’s connect that to the mimeograph at school, and to the small hand press in a basement studio, and to the cheap corner print shop. These are all different means to the same end: the means of production for small-scale publishing.

What is Nishigawa Kobo Two?

This web site has always aspired to two identities. It is a bilingual general interest publication that draws its content from daily experience here in our corner of Fukuoka. It is also a vehicle to promote our literary and artistic work. The literary side of things will now make its home here: in and around the Nishigawa Kobo Two weblog.
