This book is a photo magazine published by Shashin Dojinsha in the mid-1960s, "Camera Age October 1966 (Special feature - Kawada Kikuji's self-selected works)". Its predecessor was "Photo Contest", which was launched in 1955. Shashin Dojinsha is famous for publishing Tomatsu Shomei's first book "11:02 Nagasaki", but the company went bankrupt the following year, and this magazine probably has not been published since 1967. In 1966, a special feature titled "Self-selected Works" was published by cutting-edge photographers of the time, including Narahara Ikko (January), Nagano Shigekazu (February), Hosoe Eikoh (March), Sato Akira (April), Imai Hisae (May), Takanashi Yutaka (June), Tomatsu Shomei (July), Ishimoto Yasuhiro (August), and Yokosuka Noriaki (September), and this book is a special feature on Kawada Kikuji in the October issue. The book contains more than 30 pages of illustrations and essays, and also features other wonderful works such as Masatoshi Naito's "Japanese Mummies," Koji Taki's "Culture of Stone," and the symposium "Japan 1966" (edited by Tsutomu Wada). The photogravure printing is also appealing. (There are some wet stains on the edges of the first few pages, but the illustrations are in good condition.)
