ANISE for womyn (アニース)

“In the mid-1990s, the lesbian activists Hagiwara Mami and Koshimizu Yuu asked Ogura You, a make up artist and supervisor for Badi, for help in launching a new lesbian magazine after the failure of Phryne. Ogura agreed, and emphasized on the importance of Tara publishing being involved in this mission for the purpose of creating a Japanese gay and lesbian community, thus enhancing the new magazine’s claim to membership in a large family. The resulting publication was Anise for Womyn [later renamed “Anise for Lesbian and Bisexual Women”] (1996-2003). The content of Anise reflects this mission to engender community consciousness; the magazine features roundtables of both lesbians and gays exchanging opinions about the community as a whole.”
