Tadanori Yokoo – The Complete Drawings for Genka (light wear)
Tadanori Yokoo: The Complete Drawings for Genka / ISBN 9784336059765 / A super nice 400+ page hardcover collection, about 8.5 x 11 inches / I love that Yokoo snuck some UFO drawings into a historical novel set during the reign of Yoshimasa Ashikaga (1436-1490). This book is all images, with introductions in English and Japanese.
Light folds to tops of some pages, wear from international shipping.Â
