| The
John
Lennon
Museum
(Junichi
Mizusawa,
General
Manager
of
the
Museum/
Chuo-ku,
Saitama-city),
will
be
exhibiting
every
page
of
"DAILY
HOWL,"
the
collection
of
portraits
drawn
by
17-year-old
John
Lennon,
for
the
first
time
in
the
world
in
Zone
1
"Childhood
Memories"
from
June
21
to
August
28,
2006.
"DAILY
HOWL"
(20
cm
by
15
cm,
76
pages
total)
was
created
in
circa
1957
when
John
attended
Quarry
Bank
High
School.
Two
facing
pages
contain
an
eccentric
portrait
on
the
left
side
and
newspaper
parodies
with
black
humor
entitled
"DAILY
HOWL"
on
the
right
side.
There
are
black
jokes
like
"His
(Our
late
Editor's)
last
happy
picture"
and
army
ads
saying
"we
are
one
big
happy
family"
with
a
picture
of
soldiers
dropping
their
heads
while
marching,
which
gives
a
feeling
of
antiwar
ideas.
It
would
appear
that
John's
humor
and
idea
of
Love
&
Peace
began
to
grow
from
a
young
age.
During
the
period
of
this
exhibit,
the
page
that
have
portraits
and
texts
covering
two
facing
pages
will
be
turned
every
week
in
sequence,
out
of
76
pages
total
(partly
missing
due
to
deterioration),
and
it
takes
10
weeks
to
show
the
pages.
In
addition,
the
pictures
of
every
page
will
be
shown.
