This is not “Flower Garden”, the forthcoming third installment of Yokoyama’s gekiga tetralogy it’s a 264-page large-format softcover, slightly taller than the average “Kramers Ergot”, with the kind of cranked-to-fuck reproduction that allows you discern the texture of the spotted blacks on the page. I did not know Yokoyama had a new book out in Japan until this twitter thread tipped me off - it’s a no-dialogue comic, and the publisher does international direct sales, AND they don’t mind English-language messages from dumb foreigners (or, they didn’t mind me), so dropping them a line would be the easiest way to get it.
Plaza, Yuichi Yokoyama: Not a new translation, but the very newest book from the cacaphony king, published by 888 books, which also handled Yokoyama’s oversized hardcover art & design collection “Fashion and Closed Room” (2015) and the JP edition of his gekiga tome “Iceland” (2016).
