Note: "Deformed Prism" was a music-less modern dance piece choreographed and
performed by the dancer Ishii Eiko in honor of her older brother Ishii Baku, leader
of Tokyo's best known school of modern dance. The print was intended to
commemorate her final performance before her untimely death in 1936. The print
was printed by Unsodo but published by the Ishii Baku Dance Institute (
石井漠舞踊研究所).
