Description
Silk-screened by hand on handmade paper, and presented in a white handmade silk-paper bag, this book tells the traditional story of five men who are out walking in the moonless night, when suddenly they bump into something. Each of them sees something different, yet each is convinced that he is right. How is that possible? And what could this thing be? A tale of wisdom for all ages, this witty tale is letter-pressed by hand and illustrated in the style of traditional woodcuts.
