A collection of photographs by Eikoh Hosoe, one of Japan's leading photographers, "Man and Woman (reprint, signed)". Through collaborations with artists such as writer Yukio Mishima (“Barakei”) and dancer Tatsumi Hijikata (“Kamaitachi”), we explore the issues of “life” and “sexuality” hidden deep within human beings, Eikoh Hosoe, who devoted himself to experimental photographic expression. His conceptual style and works that incorporate Japanese elements are said to have made post-war Japanese photography recognized around the world. This book is Eikoh Hosoe's 1st photo book, which won the Japan Photo Critics Association Newcomer Award at the 1960 solo exhibition. According to the photographer, "I tried to capture the human drama that takes place in the dark, something like a ritual in a closed room." And an excerpt from writer Seicho Matsumoto's contribution, "A world where you can feel strange illusions. Isn't Mr. Matsumoto trying to find the truth of human beings through his poetic composition by voicing the most modern emptiness?" . Eikoh Hosoe's early representative work that liberates the body into a naked object and extracts a dramatic contrast between the two opposite sexes. Published and reprinted in 2006. Comes with an obi. Signed by the photographer .
