Part II consists of a book with text by Edmund de Waal and poems by Paul Celan, printed in Letterpress, with pages treated with kaolin slip and overwritten by the artist. The inside pages are printed on Zerkall Litho IV 410, Tosa Shi, and C.F. Smith Colorplan Ice white papers; and Takeo Youmoushi Paper is used on the flyleaves. The cover is made with natural calf vellum. Part III consists of translucent porcelain tiles with handwritten text and gilding on a stone shelf."--Page 15
