Touhou Bunkachou ~ Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red (東方文花帖　～ Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, lit. "Eastern Album of Words and Flowers") is the first official fanbook of the Touhou series. It is written by ZUN and drawn by Kususaga Rin and some others. It features Aya Shameimaru writing a newspaper about the Touhou world, with some comics and newspaper articles. It also comes with a music CD featuring tracks from Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

ZUN felt it incomplete to have a Touhou without a shooting game, thus he released a title marked as installment 9.5: 東方文花帖　～ Shoot the Bullet for Winter Comiket 2005.

Other Information

Bohemian means "of a person who lives in a very informal way without following accepted rules of behaviour" or "of Aya, living her easy life free from many obstacles and routines." Archive means "a collection of historical documents or records" or "the collection of Bunbunmaru Newspaper from the 113rd to 120th Season edition". And "Japanese Red" may mean "the color of red lacquer-ware" or "japanesque one", or "the color of a Tengu's face". So the title essentially means "a collection of newspaper articles written by a free-living Tengu".

Additionally, "bunkachou" (文化庁) can refer to the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs.
