Description: This is mostly a collage-style doujinshi featuring a wide variety of sketchwork housed in a silver envelope.

Details: This is the third edition of Futsutsuka. The first print was sold on 01/01/1993 and the second was released a year later on 01/01/1994. The majority of the book is presented in a stlye of a rough sketch book: many of the pages contain collages of random character and mechanical sketches. While many of the pages have strictly character-related drawings, there are a number of Murata's outlandish car and motorbike designs present. Artist notes are scattered throughout the book, but most of the pages lack descriptions. Few pages are devoted to single portraits. The pages are fairly thick and the ink has a dark navy blue hue. Futsutsuka is a interesting doujinshi when compared to Murata's more modern work because you can really tell how refined his work has grown throughout his career.
