I am so incredibly excited to have received a gift from Kazuo Sugiyama, who before he began researching pachinko's origins and opening the Birth Of Pachinko Museum, is a print-maker artist.

I have so much art on the walls throughout my house, but I did have this perfect space ready for it. (It hangs just below another print, one by Eye Yamataka and signed by members of his band The Boredoms.)

| Kazuo Sugiyama and the print! |

| I am very grateful to receive this. It arrived safely from Japan. |
the print is based off a scene from the 1962 movie キューポラのある街 (Foundry Town), and you can see more of that in my post on Pachinko in Japanese Cinema.
The print was used in Sugiyama's book パチンコ誕生―シネマの世紀の大衆娯楽 (Birth of Pachinko - Entertainment in the Century of Cinema)
