Toshio Saeki Akai Hako 1st Edition

Long-necked ghosts, slashing samurais, decapitated mothers, excited school girls, camellias, chrysanthemums, and blowing leaves - all coming together in an eroguro vision unique to Toshio Saeki. The original first edition printed in 1972, there are 51 prints - each stretches across two pages and has a limited color palette.

EU condition: Not bad considering age. The red sleeve has color loss and wear especially at the corners with a bit on edges also. Actual book cover has wear on the top and bottom edges with some minor dust/dirt marks on the dust jacket. Book interior quite clean.
USA condition: Quite a few dust/dirt marks on the red sleeve. Wear and tear at corners with color loss. Actual book cover could be cleaned up with surface dirt. Interior has a few slightly wavy pages but clean with a small amount of ink transfer across pages.
