Monograph box set in burgundy silk fabric includes burgundy leather 'Longhorn' eyewear case and double-sided microfiber cleaning cloth featuring a recreation of Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Specter, an Edo Period woodblock print created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi from c.1843 to 1847. Collection literature and handwritten limited-edition serial numbers are noted on traditional washi, an archival-quality paper made in the basin of the Okafuto river of the Echizen region, Fukui prefecture.
