Aozameta dōteikyō : Shigashū
"One of only three Mavo books illustrated with original linocuts by Tatsuo Okada. Not much is known about Okada, and little of his work survives, but this little book with its surreal typography and whimsical illustrations surely deserves a place in the history of twentieth century book illustration." -- Provided by vendor
