Rarity with this publication ( banal title ) "Adult Picture Book " ; the title is not related to the richness and density of the content. First it's a limited and numbered publication N° 1 / 3000 copies with red stamp . The edition is rich , hardback book with red cloth cover ( title letters stamped ), contained in a slipcase very neat with silk threads incrusted , all contained in the original cardboard. 2 original prints are with this special issue ( N°1 ) , that's 2 woodcuts printed on cupper paper . This edition has almost 40 years old ( 1998 ) and we haven't foung the printing process used at this time to have the same result as a serigraphy ( wonderful under certain angles , some details are cealed and the light allows to discover them ) A lot of cupper prints are in the book , The illustrator is Hisao Kabayama , he has done also all the drawings , caricatures ( like old Toba-e) , humoristiques, erotics or poetics . Each draw is fine . After, the texts are also very poetics, lyrics and erotics ( also pornographics) , the author is Mitsuhiro Gomi I have put one translation, but all the texts are to be translated to understand the meaning of the authors. Only 108 pages , so all them worth the detour , Each page is with a double sheet like old Japanese books. The drawings are ink paintings, most of them signed . The titles of the plates are also lyrics and erotics. That's an exceptionnal work and almost unfoundable. The conditions stayed excellent, the card box has smalls bumps and slights scuffs , stapled on 3 sides, the other one is free to be opened ( photos) The slipcase is excellent , slights yellowed traces on the left side with the Silver glitters, the other side is clear , The book is excellent to NM, few opened Rare copy Total package will be 2KG 5 - 2KG 7
