Ah yes, I read that this morning... I have a booklet by Seitaro Kuroda and a signed drawing.
This particular project is headed by Akiyuki Nosaka and Seitaro Kuroda and promoted by Taku Nishimae and has resulted in numerous documentaries and collaborations and live events. It is based on the 'War Tales' series for children and mothers, written by Akiyuki Nosaka.
If you would like to participate, contact me or taku@zengo.com.
