Using equipment owned by Neutral Colors—primarily Risograph printing—the project circulates small-edition publications worldwide. This book serves as Meian’s founding statement and marks the launch of the publishing project. Meian (Light and Darkness) refers to the interplay of light and shadow and is also the title of an unfinished novel by Natsume Sōseki, a central figure in Japanese modern literature. The novel remained permanently incomplete due to his death.
