Touhou Project Merchandise – Greetings from Gensokyo
A single developer, dozens of games, one of Japan's biggest fan scenes: the Touhou Project is a phenomenon. Since the 1990s, Japanese developer ZUN has been creating his danmaku shooters largely alone – programming, drawing, and composing it all himself. The setting is Gensokyo, a region sealed off from the outside world and full of yokai, witches, and spirits, where conflicts are preferably settled in bullet-hail duels. The secret stars are the characters: the pragmatic shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei, the magician Marisa Kirisame, and a steadily growing cast with its own fan base. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Touhou merchandise focused on figures.
What sets the Touhou Project apart?
The fan culture. Hardly any brand lives so much off its community: around the official games, a cosmos of doujin music, fan comics, and independent games has grown over decades, which ZUN expressly allows under remarkably liberal guidelines. Many fans first get to know the characters through music arrangements or memes and only turn to the originals afterward – a reverse path that works for hardly any other game series. For collectors, that means: the figure selection reaches far beyond the protagonists, since supporting characters like the Komeiji sisters or doll maker Alice Margatroid also have loyal followings. If you discover your favorite character, you should grab it – Japanese print runs are rarely generous. And because ZUN keeps releasing new games, the cast keeps growing to this day: restocks for your display case are firmly part of the plan.
