"Theatrum Mundi (With Leaflet)" is a photo book by Kikuji Kawada, one of Japan's leading photographers. Kikuji Kawada is a member of the "VIVO" photography group with Shomei Tomatsu, Ikko Narahara, Eikoh Hosoe, Akira Sato, and Akira Tanno, and can be said to be one of the driving forces behind the recent global trend in postwar Japanese photography. Although he has published few photo books compared to his overwhelming popularity and fame, he has attracted attention again in recent years with the release of "Memories of Distant Places 1951-1966" and "Last Cosmology," as well as a new edition of "Map," which is considered a monumental milestone in the history of Japanese photography. This book is a catalog collection published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in 2003, and introduces his representative work "Map" by plate and page, including a dummy version, as well as the Sacred World and Last Cosmology. Leaflet included.
