[KineJapan] translation of gurabia

[John Junkerman]

Hi Jonathan,

Doesn't gravure usually refer to color photo sections in magazines, while
bromides are stand-alone glossies?
This Wiki entry on bromides seems helpful:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromide_(Japanese_culture).
But I've never come up with a better term than the clunky "color photo
section" for gurabia.

Best,

John Junkerman
