Chimushi (Japanese Edition)

In a wacky mixture of classical Japanese woodblock style and contem-porary Hello Kitty kitsch, illustrator Toshio Saeki challenges just about every taboo you can think of, and a few you probably never even considered. Some might call Saeki's potpourri of incest, sadism, child molestation, rape, necrophilia, and voyeurism warped, but this skilled and inventive artist has the kind of following in Japan that comic-book genius R. Crumb inspired in this country during the seventies.
