Touhou Kourindou(Fragrant Rain Temple) ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia (東方香霖堂　～ Curiosities of Lotus Asia) is a series of side stories that complement the normal Touhou timeline, which ran in various magazines from 2004-2007 and resumed serialization in 2015. Written by ZUN and illustrated by Genji Asai, each story takes up four pages: one full-page artwork, and three pages of mostly text.

Each story is told from the perspective of Rinnosuke Morichika, proprietor of the curio store Kourindou. Naturally, he has a lot of well-known "customers" in the store, especially Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame.

A hardcover anthology edition was released on September 30, 2010 by ASCII Media Works.

During an interview with Dengeki Online in 2015[1], it was confirmed that Curiosities of Lotus Asia would continue its serialization in the Touhou Official Magazine Strange Creators of Outer World.

The preview for the series is here.

^  This chapter was contributed for twirl-lock's doujinshi, "Ryousaishii 2" (霊偲志異2), sold at Comiket 67; prior to the hardcover release its status as part of the official series was unclear, but its rarity led the doujinshi's resale price to skyrocket.
