This is a collection of works by Eikyu (1911-1960), a leading Japanese painter, printmaker, and photographer of the 20th century, titled "Eikyu = Photo-Drawings: Posthumous Works (1936-1955) (Acceptable)". His real name was Hideo Sugita. Known for his unique works created by placing drawings and objects on photographic paper and exposing them to light, Eikyu published a limited edition of 40 copies of his photo-drawing collection "The Reason for Sleep" (Matin Co.) in 1936. After World War II, he worked not only on prints, paintings, and photo-drawings, but also on photo-collages. This is a valuable collection of works published in 1970 in a limited edition of 200 copies by "Shashin Hyoronsha," a publishing company led by Shinya Yoshimura, who is known for publishing Daido Moriyama's masterpiece "Goodbye Photography" and Shomei Tomatsu's "I am a King," and is also a renowned photography critic. Incidentally, the second issue of the same publication, "Quarterly Photo and Video," also published by the same publisher, contains the exact same work with the same title and content.
