Mini Zine — Issue 04 • Yosakoi Soran Festival •DIY Printable PDF

Weave through the crowded streets of downtown Sapporo with me as I capture the excitement and electric energy of the Sapporo Yosakoi Soran Dance Festival! We’ll visit Odori Park, watching as teams from all walks of life parade down the street and on-stage at one of northern Japan’s biggest and most famous early summer event.

This is an 8‑page printable mini zine: full‑color but intentionally muted and slightly imperfect for an archival, tactile feel. Each issue collects small photo studies from my travels across Japan & Korea — close encounters, street scenes, impressions and observances. Every page includes glued‑on strips of minimal typewriter text and small visual flaws left in place to emphasize a mood of reminiscing.

Quick tips

• Print a test copy on cheap paper first to check fold order.
• Flatten creases with a bone folder or credit card edge for easier alignment. 
• After assembly, glue the open (white) pages together with a glue stick for a sleek booklet look. 
• If prints appear slightly off, disable ‘shrink to fit’ and ensure 100% scale.
