The Collector of Heads - Hardcover

by Ana Matsusaki (Author), Bruna Dantas Lobato (Translator)

There are all kinds of collections in this world...serious, funny, weird. Imagination has no limits! And Ros疝ia's collection might be the weirdest yet, as she collects the heads, histories, and memories of those who have died. Ana Matsusaki's beautifully illustrated book explores the delicate and complex cultural aspects of death with great humor and invites us to reflect on the shared and unique contents inside each of our heads.
