Sazanami Sleep Study - 50 Watts & Samplerman

Sazanami Sleep Study / vintage illustrations compiled by 50 Watts + collages by Samplerman / 96-page paperback, 6 x 9 inches, illustrated throughout /  ISBN 9781957625102 / forthcoming in November 2025.

The first half of this book features images and details from a 1920s Japanese multi-volume set -- The Collected Tales of Iwaya Sazanami -- drawn from the 50 Watts collection of illustrated books. The works included here are mostly unsigned but appear to be by two or maybe three artists. About halfway through Sazanami Sleep Study Samplerman takes over and works his magic.
