It?s ?SS? as in S)hinkocchou S)eihou (as also seen on SHF site) not (S)hin(K)occhou ?. where are you getting the C from??? The middle of the 1st word??
It literally makes no sense in the English Language.
Bandai also uses ?SS? in their literature, and they are correct in usage.
Christ, it drives me crazy because it?s SO DUMB.
Sorry, no offense intended, but it?s just wrong.
Back to your regularly scheduled lifestyles

Shinkocchou Seihou: Shinkocchou translates to bone carving, while Seihou refers to "manufacturing method." Some people prefer to refer to it as Shinkocchou primarily as the first word is more defining than the second, thus ShinKoCchou -> SKC. While it's not official, you also see other people refer to them by shorthand as other terms as well, so I don't think it's particularly dumb.
