A photo collection by Japanese photographer Ryudai Takano, "Ryudai Takano 1993 - 1996 (Signed)". In the mid-1980s, while he was a student at the School of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University, he began taking photographs in earnest after being asked by an acquaintance to take stage photos. Since the 1990s, he has exhibited his work in solo exhibitions. Through his photographic expression, he has continued to provide a new perspective on places that are generally considered "not beautiful" or "feeling nothing", such as male nudes, gender beauty, and even his "Daily Shooting" series of ordinary everyday snapshots, which he takes every day without fail. Ryudai Takano is an intelligent photographer who is not only sensitive but also very logical. This book is a collection of works published by Sokyusha, focusing on Takano's early period, "Series of ''ca.ra.ma.ru''. A collection of works depicting naked bodies transcending the boundaries of gender and sexuality, and pursuing the ultimate aesthetic sense reminiscent of Robert Mapplethorpe and others. Also includes an interesting text by Mariko Takeuchi (in both English and Japanese) at the end of the book. Limited to 700 copies. Promotional. Signed by the photographer .
