Preparations for an exhibition in Japan. "I've gone much further than I had planned, which gives us the possibility of doing something else more important in addition to the catalog. I worked on a larger format [...] For the catalog, I see the two pages, and in the middle a full page with a poetic text in Japanese characters [drawing of the three pages]. The models should be shown at the exhibition and then donated to a major Japanese museum. These people are great thypes, we must think of the future and strike a blow" On the next page, he writes the "text. The Blue sea makes a White tablecloth with the singing waves. The Catalan Cockerel sends my Japanese friends a shower of feathers from its wings". Attached is a l.s. from Francisco Ferreras forwarding Miró's letter to Didier Jumaux (December 22, headed Galeria Maeght in Barcelona, with envelope). Plus 3 photographs (17.5x21 or 23.5cm, silver print) of Miró showing drawings to two Japanese in Didier Jumaux's presence.
