This book is one of the Number’s publications. The Number group was one of the "university self-seminar movements" led by the students of the photography faculty of Tokyo Zokei University. In 1969, this university was barricaded by students like other universities because of the student movement. Since the function of the university was paralyzed, some students tried to give their own courses (the self-seminar). These students were the first members of Number, but they did not stay just in this university; they created their own courses like "Yutaka TAKANASHI seminar" outside of the institution.

The Number started with printed publications in Quick copy and photocopy, which were the frequently used methods among students at that time.

Stapled softcover, 29,5 x 21,5 cm. The spine is fade otherwise kept in good condition.
