History[]
According to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Seireitei Communication magazine was founded to raise morale and build solidarity among Shinigami and has been continuously published for more than a thousand years. The magazine used to be published using a gariban, which used special stencils made from wax paper and ink drums were used used to print the copies of the magazine. The drums made the sound "gari-gari", which gave rise to the name "gariban".
Yamamoto also mentioned that while messenger services are common today, this was not the case in the past and the only modes of communication were the Inner Court Troop or by Jigokuchō. However, he cuts off by stating that he is going off topic and it is therefore, unknown if the difficulty in communication and delivery in the past had something to do with the magazine.
Overview[]
The monthly magazine is printed by the Reishi Printing Company and costs 380 Kan for regular issues. However, the price of special issues vary, with the special mid-summer edition that featured the Ryoka Invasion costing 680 Kan. The magazine is printed on paper that is one hundred percent reishi and can be subscribed to for delivery straight to your doorstep. As an incentive for subscription, the magazine offered a sake-flavored rice cake dessert as a gift in their special mid-summer edition. The magazine conducts reader survey of content, including new features using special postcards. However, the magazine does not accept survey information delivered by Jigokuchō.
