Yosuke Inoue - Illustration Now (1974 book) Lillian Ross When the plant grows tallerYosuke Inoue's volume from the legendary 1970s series "Illustration Now," published by Bijutsu Shuppansha. Used 127 page hardcover copy in Good condition, with light wear and a small tear to the dust jacket (top right corner). The illustrations are clear. Text in Japanese. The illustrations are really out there and disturbing, so buyer beware (the ones shown here may be the only ones fit for social media).
