Black-and-white comics in collectible hardcover with a lengthy essay discussing Tsuge’s work in the period 1967-1968. The backdrops of rural Japan are exquisitely detailed, the stories themselves mostly wistful, open-ended mood pieces depicting Tsuge’s travels and characters that stuck in his mind.
