c. 1965
This version of Shiomi's Events and Games is the one produced by Willem de Ridder for the European Fluxshop in Amsterdam. While the contents are essentially the same Maciunas-produced printed matter and label, the New York Fluxus edition was issued in a plastic box. Fifteen of the cards are printed in English on one side and in Japanese on the other. The remaining five are printed only in English. Maciunas planned to produce editions of a number of Fluxus artists' "collected works" in a boxed format so that additional works could be added to later copies (see also George Brecht's "Water Yam" and Robert Watts's "Events", among others).
