This nine-volume set features the chaotic intersection of eroticism, art, and photography in "Shashin Jidai," from its inaugural issue in September 1981 through its ninth issue. It captured a mass audience with its eroticism (always featuring idols on its cover, with this issue featuring a young Junko Mihara), while also attracting a niche audience with its esoteric eroticism and genuine art photography. The magazine dominated the 1980s, featuring main character Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama, who made a remarkable comeback after recovering from illness, publishing serialized works in every issue. Seiji Kurata and Keizo Kitajima, two of Moriyama's mentors, also make appearances. (Incidentally, Kurata's first book, a photography history classic, "Flash Up," was designed by Akira Suei, editor-in-chief of "Shashin Jidai," and published by Byakuya Shobo, the same publisher as "Shashin Jidai.") When it was first published, it was published bimonthly, and this set (9 volumes) includes the first 9 issues, including the valuable first and third issues.
