東方香霖堂 ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia (Touhou Kourindou ~ Curiosities of Lotus Asia) is a series of side stories that complement the normal Touhou timeline.

Written by ZUN and illustrated by Genji Asai, each story takes up four pages; one full-page artwork, three of mostly text.

It's written from the point of view of Rinnosuke Morichika, proprietor of Kourindou, a little odds-and-ends store. Naturally, he has a lot of well-known "customers" in the store, especially Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame.

Notes

  • The stories themselves are serialized in various medias: Magazine Elfics, Elnavi, Dengeki Moeoh (電撃萌王). One exceptial chapter was contributed for twirl-lock's doujinshi, "Reisaishii 2" (霊偲志異2). When serialized in the Colorful PUREGIRL, each story required two months to complete (on average). This is related to the reason the numberings of each chapter are different on magazines and a net novel;

In Colorful PUREGIRL, the set of part one and two was credited to be one united chapter. On magazine elfics, the numbering was renewed. Just after the second chapter was published there, Comiket 67 took place and a doujinshi was sold which include one story of CoLA. This version had been counted as official series of CoLA until hardcover version of it was released. On elnavi, the set of part one and two was divided in numbering.
