KSB Magazine #12

What you hold in your hands is Number 12 of our Kinbaku Society of Berlin Magazine. Number 12! We closed the third year cycle. We grew and we changed. This edition is 350 pieces. We reached the limits for touching every magazine with my hands, giving it an individual number… We grew and changed also in the way we made this issue. Actually I‘m writing this editorial half out of habit, half out of nostalgia. I write it on behalf of Clover who was responsible for putting this magazine together. Judge yourself – but I think she did an amazing job. We turned our necks this time, and looked to the WEST. We did what the Japanese did in the early days of Kitan Club and Uramado. We looked at John Willie and Eric Stanton, at the damsel in distress, and the beautiful-sad story of the folks who started Shibaricon. We aimed for our own approaches to the aesthetics and story-telling inspired by these idols.
