1st US edition (orig pub in Japan in somewhat different form in1948), with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. WINNER OF THE MYSTERY WRITERS CLUB AWARD OF JAPAN in 1949. It remains to this day among the most read of Japanese detective mysteries. Using their flesh as canvas, the yakuza made full body tatoos their badge of defiiance. A seam was left in the design so that they could be collected after death in one piece without distirbing the pattern. The most famous collection is housed in Tokyo University and it is from hthere that a most unusual murder occurs - the victim's own full-body tattoo has been stolen; the "canvas" mutilated.
