Yokoo designed this poster for the Tenjo Sajiki theatre company, which was run by his close friend Tereyama and which Yokoo himself co-founded and served as Art director. The image is meant to represent the front page of a daily newspaper, heavily crossed out and "edited", through which Yokoo builds an intriguing, artificially polluted image.
