This is a reprint of the rare collaborative picture book by Akira Uno and TADANORI YOKOO, originally published in 1962. Yokoo's illustrations overlap with Uno's, completing the book in Uno's world. Copywriter Yusuke Kaji's story is expressed through an experimental design in which red and blue cellophane are layered on top of each other, causing the pictures and text on one side to disappear and the other to emerge.
Comes with red and blue cellophane and an explanatory sheet.
