The Book of the Crow stands as the Holy Scripture within the Church of Riso, an indispensable guide on the journey of enlightenment for every devoted disciple of the risograph.
"In the genesis, a void awaited, a canvas yearning for the hues of imagination. A moment when the world craved creativity, an epoch resonating with the call for artistic expression throughout time. Thus, the Church of Riso materialized—a haven where creativity intertwined with devotion, and the patron saints shepherded the faithful. Saint Cyan the Vivid, inspired by the azure sky, bestowed wisdom, urging believers to grasp boundless possibilities. With each print, they beckoned the faithful to reach for the heavens of creativity and manifest vibrant dreams. Saint Magenta the Bold, guardian of audacious visions, whispered courage, encouraging unapologetic boldness. They urged artists to wield magenta ink with fearless determination, letting unique voices resonate in every print."
