Japanese photographer Yasushi Yazu's photo book "Body Path Young Samurai Bodybuilders of Japan". After working as a male researcher at the Takarazuka Revue, Yasushi Yasushi was affiliated with Nikkatsu and also acted as an actor. Yato is known for shooting Yukio Mishima, but it was Meredith Witherby who was also a partner of Yato who brought the connection with Mishima, and a translator of Mishima's Shiosai and Masked Confession is. It doesn't seem clear how Yato started taking pictures, but it seems that it was influenced by the economically rich and culturally well-developed Witherby. Witherby establishes John Weatherhill, Inc., and publishes the arrowhead photo book. Yato died in 1973 at the age of 48, leaving three photo books, "Body Movement", "Naked Festival" and "OTOKO". This book is the English version of Yazu's 1st photo book. This is a photo of Japanese bodybuilders, and also shows the appearance of Yukio Mishima who wrote the preface. This is one of the representative books by Yazu Yasushi, who is also a legendary photographer. Second edition, published in 1974.
