Sato Hiro, the illustrator, ended his life in 1995 while still young (aged45). Some of his artistic work has been published in Japan by Kyuryudo Publishing, in a book whose title can be translated, approximately, as"Melancholic Dance--the world of Sato Hiro." My name is Machida Hideo. I collaborated with Hiro, doing graphic design to accompany his art, mainly for commercial printing, for about 10 years. I'dlike to introduce some of our work here.
