Notes

  1. ^ The colophon shows the short Japanese title Script error: No such module "Lang". (Kurīchāzu) alone. The subtitle Script error: No such module "Lang". (Kami no kemono-tachi) appears nowhere other than the title page. Creaturers [sic] appears on the front cover and title page and also in the list of exhibitions. It appears to be a mistake, because (if it rhymed with "treasurers"), "creaturers" would have different katakana (most likely Script error: No such module "Lang".); as it is, the pronunciation of the Japanese title matches that of "creatures".
