Touhou project is basically this fan made shooting game series made by this guy called ZUN. Touhou takes place in a shangri-la like place called Gensokyo, and most of its characs are either youkai and goddesses with special abilities, or humans who know how to use magic.

However, due to the games' immense popularity, touhou has become more than just a bunch of shooting games. It has become something like a symbol that represents doujinshi (fan made anime stuff), so nowadays you will find that most of the doujinshi that are sold at those kind of doujinshi events are fan made touhou merchandises and touhou fan art. There's also this fan made anime called touhou project memories of phantasm which you can consider watching.

Btw the girl in my avatar is a touhou charac. She's called reisen inaba.
