Since its first publication in 1963, the design has changed, but the book has been reprinted many times, making it one of the masterpieces in the history of photography. A poetic photo collection of eroticism and fantasy that made the subject, Mishima Yukio, call it "the magic of photography." The images of the body as an object, captured using a wide variety of stage sets and experimental expressions, brought change and new ground to Japanese photography, which had previously had a strong journalistic element, and even to photography around the world. The cover design of the first edition published in 1963 was by Sugiura Kohei, the one published in 1971 by Yokoo Tadanori, and this book published in 1984 by Awazu Kiyoshi. It was published in Japan by Shueisha, but this English version is published by Aperture, an American publisher specializing in photo books. Second printing.
