Now Viewing: bohemian_archive_in_japanese_redTag type: Copyright Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red (東方文花帖, romanized Touhou Bunkachou, meaning Oriental Cultural Album), the first official fanbook of the Touhou series, is written by ZUN and drawn by Kususaga Rin (aka Asai_Genji)and some others. It features Shameimaru_Aya writing a newspaper about the Touhou world, with some comics and newspaper articles. It also comes with a music CD featuring tracks from Phantasmagoria_of_Flower_View. ZUN felt it incomplete to have a Touhou without a shooting game, thus he released a title marked as installment 9.5: 東方文花帖 ~ Shoot_the_Bullet for Winter Comiket 2005. Bohemian means "of a person who lives in a very informal way without following accepted rules of behavior" or "of Aya, living her easy life free from many obstacles and routines." Archive means "a collection of historical documents or records" or "the collection of Bunbunmaru Newspaper from the 113rd to 120th Season edition". And "Japanese Red" may mean "the color of red lacquer-ware" or "japanesque one", or "the color of a Tengu's face". So the title essentially means "a collection of newspaper articles written by a free-living Tengu". Additionally, "bunkachou" (文化庁) can refer to the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs.
