About the Work

We have broken down and translated a hand-drawn history of rock music that Japanese rock fans have wanted to read but could not. This book is housed in a cardboard box with a small circular cutout window through which the cover can be viewed. The cover has a pear finish. The black color uses ink that has lost its gloss. Thickness is 1.4 inches. The hand-drawn columns were rearranged in the relevant order and assigned branch numbers. Thus, the tree was disassembled and reassembled. The graphic tree was left intact in the Japanese text.
