kouchadouguisshiki means tea service, something that my home region of East Frisia in northwest Germany and Japanese culture share to a certain extent. Both have their own special tea culture.

The idea was to combine two hobbies. Photography, which I have been pursuing for almost two decades, and manga, which I have enjoyed reading for several years. I found it exciting to bring the fictional characters and scenes into reality.

Admittedly, you will also find photos on my site that have nothing to do with manga. Nevertheless, I like them so much that I wanted to include them here.

Short disclaimer. I do not presume to claim the works of the authors or illustrators as my own. This is solely a project that I enjoy and that does not pursue any commercial interests. The credit for the fictional part goes solely to the mangakas.
