Crumb inspired in this country during the seventies.\n\nToshio Saeki was interested in Western art. An important inspiration for him was the Frenchman Tomi Ungerer. Saeki's works often depict sexuality and brutality in a very explicit way, combining traditional Shunga and Yokai styles with elements of Western art.\n\nText in Japanese.\n\nAdult Material.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Fine Minus. \u003c\/strong\u003eVery light cover and edge wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643766800670,"sku":"RB9820","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB9820-Toshio-Saeki-I.jpg?v=1784518936","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/chimushi-i-ii-hc-set-of-two-volumes","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
