A legendary eroticism and quality magazine edited by Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, which criticizes the harmless intellectualism, ideological subservience, and the optimism that has completely surrendered to technology, by maintaining an amoral stance.
It states that "Blood is the distinction of the enemy and at the same time unites them, and the rose is a symbol of the wound that continues to bleed," threatening the boundaries of normal/abnormal, and aiming to "dismantle class, racial, and other divisions" through eroticism (from the "Blood and Roses Declaration"). A miracle of the rose that stands tall even beyond the times!
