This book is a reprint of a collection of works published in 1963, and is said to be a companion book. The publisher and editor was Yasuharu Miyahara, who was enrolled at Waseda University at the time and later worked as a non-fiction writer. This is an artist's book rich in ``political and ideological'' elements that was published as a special issue of the magazine regularly published by the political organization ``Criminal Alliance,'' which was founded around Miyahara at the time. However, the included illustrations by photographer Yasuhiro Yoshioka were investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of obscenity (Yoshioka was also investigated for his first collection of works), and furthermore, avant-garde artist and writer Genpei Akasegawa was investigated. This book also published an artwork that printed 1,000 yen bills, and was the book that triggered the ``1,000 yen bill trial''. Although the trial had many twists and turns, he was found guilty in 1970. However, two years later, Miyahara published a reprint of the book again. Although there are various interpretations, this is a valuable collection of works that served as the starting line for up-and-coming artists such as Akasegawa and Yoshioka. Missing obi.
