Dinky-Bloc

Let me point you to Dinky-Bloc, an indie publisher based in Cape Town, and their first release, THE KINEMA POST, by author Hilary Maraney. It’s linked to media brand Chocolate Cake Productions. You’ll notice the use of Japanese on the site, and according to Ben from Chocolate Cake, “the book is soon to be promoted and marketed in Japan, with the metaphysical levels inherent in the book referring to the Japanese play (kabuki and benshi).” Then again, I like this explanation from the site: “dink-bloc is edo-period inspired // O-NIPPON!!”
