Greetings from Japan-
The catalog on Noguchi-Rosanjin that Valerie wrote about is fabulous.
I went to that exhibition at Sezon Museum in Ikebukuro, Tokyo and it
was just wonderful- the catalogs all sold out and I've yet to find
anymore- luckily I bought one for my library and highly recommend it.
There is no ISBN number in the catalog.
