Edition Size 50 Numbered 14/50 Description From the children's series made in 1962. The strong black outlines and dark colors were reminiscent to those of Georges Rouault. But Kaoru's pictures have none of the overt religeous connotations or sadness. These children seem to involve in their innocent activities in the warm, dark and fuzzy dream in the past.
