"The Map (Maquette Edition)," a photobook by Kikuji Kawada, one of the leading photographers of postwar Japan, is a work of immense popularity and recognition. Despite having published relatively few photobooks, he has recently released "Memories of Distant Places 1951-1966," "Last Cosmology," and "Vortex," a collection of color illustrations he had been uploading to Instagram, attracting renewed attention. This book is a new edition of "The Map," Kawada's masterpiece and a landmark that has etched its name not only in the history of photobooks in Japan but also around the world. It has been reprinted before by Getsuyosha in 2005 and by Akio Nagasawa in 2014, but this book is a complete reproduction of the two-volume "maquette" edition that he handmade at the time of the original concept and which was acquired by the New York Public Library in 2001. The design is also different from the original gatefold edition, offering a new way of looking at "The Map." In addition to texts by the library's researcher, the book also includes an interview with Kawada. Signed by the photographer .
