Urado Hiroshi: Sun and Moon, No 5 (1977)
Here are a few posts about publications that appeared around the same time-period, and with many of the same people involved. I am painfully aware that I have not been able to sort out all the specifics, but I am now sharing some of the material and hope to learn more. As often is the case, an important source for me has been http://www.smpedia.com
The misunderstandings and errors are however all my own. Comments and corrections are welcome as always.
”Sun and Moon” was an SM-magazine, started in 1977. In 1978 it branched off into some special issues and separate publications (see the next few posts here on the blog), and in 1980 it was re-launched with names like ”The High Sun & Moon”, ”The Original Sun & Moon”.
The images posted here are from ”Sun and Moon” No. 5 (1977), the first one edited by Urado Hiroshi. The issue opens with a ten-page article by Urado.
On the backside cover is a advertisment for the first issue of ”The Beacon” (see further separate post).
A marginal note: the issue also has an article signed ”Shima Shikou” (志摩紫光) – one of his very first apperances in a publication. UPDATE: I have now included some of the photos from Shima Shikou’s article below.
