Content Introduction
"Julie" by Hayakawa Takeji's costumes / art direction.
Kenji Sawada x Takeji Hayakawa, the trajectory of two geniuses compiled here.
The creation of the man who made "Julie" is now revealed for the first time.
"Julie," Kenji Sawada, is a superstar who has been active at the forefront for over half a century. Among his long career, his unique visuals and expressions, such as "TOKIO" with a parachute, "Casablanca Dandy" with a broken ivy style and a whiskey bottle, the innovative "Koi no Bad Tuning," and the shocking "Samurai," continue to maintain an impact that everyone remembers.
Takeji Hayakawa is the creator who was in charge of "Julie's" visuals, direction, and costumes, and who depicted his unique world.
He created the image for each new song, made costumes, considered the direction, and even handled the graphic design for its promotion.

Overall, it is in beautiful condition, but there are some wrinkles and creases on the obi (sleeve), and a slight fold in the art card collection, so this is the condition assessment.
