Games, 1976
36 x 50 cm folio
handmade folio with 21 offset prints, Noodle Edition

Hand coloured, signed on cardboard folio, numbered with 7 tipped-on different prints in colour and 14 non-coloured copies, i.e. 2 of each print. Thus unique within the edition. Two hundred signed and numbered copies were planned but ONLY circa 20 were made by Saito and sold (hence an early number from the edition). The game was designed to be played with other objects (pieces), as stated in Saito's notes. All prints fine! Rare.
