The late musician of The Beatles, John Lennon’s official and certified Instagram page shared a bunch of rare memorabilia from 1992, that show John’s personal sketchbooks.

As you will see the Instagram photos and captions below, the official page revealed the stories of the sketches as well.

Here is what’s written on the photos:

“AI – JAPAN THROUGH JOHN LENNON’S EYES⠀
A Personal Sketchbook by John Lennon, Published in 1992⠀
Among the sketchbooks John Lennon left behind was an exercise notebook full of playful line drawings he sketched while learning Japanese.”

“The wistful humour and gentle satire in these intimate drawings create a charmed vision of the way in which Lennon introduced himself to Japanese life and language.”

“The sketchbook’s wonderful wit and artistry enlarge our view of John Lennon by letting us share his eye, ear, and love of the world.”
⠀
‘This book was named ai (pronouced ‘eye’) because that was how John viewed and experienced Japan – with love.’ – Yoko Ono.”
