[SEAL-DO] Shinzi Katoh x Kenji Miyazawa "The Nighthawk Star" Ex Libris Booklet · Letterpress Stickers (Copy)

Yodaka no Hoshi (“The Nighthawk Star”) by Japanese poet and writer Kenji Miyazawa is a children's short story of a bird that gets teased and outcasted by the other birds. The beginning of the story stars:  “The nighthawk was really a very ugly bird. His face had reddish brown blotches as though someone had daubed it with bean paste, his beak was flat, and his mouth stretched right around to his ears."

Ex Libris is a Latin phrase that essentially means "From the library of".  Designed by Shinzi Katoh, this booklet contains a total of 8 jumbo size flake stickers (four of which are in the shape of a postage stamp) and signature illustrations detailed in foil.
