The Last Cosmology (First Edition, With Envelope) is a photo book by Kikuji Kawada, one of postwar Japan's leading photographers. Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1933, after graduating from Rikkyo High School and University, he worked at Shinchosha and was in charge of gravure photography, but left the company after a few years and became a freelancer. Led by critic and commentator Tatsuo Fukushima, he participated in "Ten People's Eyes," which pursued new photographic expressions not limited to realism photography, and also participated in "VIVO," and in 1965 he became famous in the history of postwar Japanese photography. We will present one of the most outstanding masterpieces, ``The Map.'' Since then, the master Kikuji Kawada has continued to pursue something that cannot be visualized based on grand themes such as the "world" and "universe," and has continued his energetic creative activities since 2000. This book was created with motifs of natural and celestial phenomena that he has been photographing for several decades, and the name ``Last Cosmology'' is a combination of the last annular solar eclipse of the 20th century and the end of an era. This is a collection of works that won the annual award of the Photo Association Award in 1996 and the 12th Higashikawa Award, and a revised and new edition was published by MACK in 2015, but this is the first edition published in 1995. Envelope included.
