An omnibus of fourteen carefully selected illustrations depicting eleven years in the life of a white guy who kept finding a way to wash up on the polluted shores of Japan during this time. An epic odyssey from wide-eyed optimism to eventual hope-crushing cynicism. Descriptive passages for the first time ever accompany these works and shed new light on some of their more cryptic natures. Also rife with various photographs and images from both Japan and America that inspired many of the illustrations.
