"Eikoh Hosoe" is a photo collection by Eikoh Hosoe, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. Through collaborations with artists such as writer Yukio Mishima ("Rose Punishment") and dancer Tatsumi Hijikata ("Kamaitachi"), Eikoh Hosoe pursued the issues of "life" and "sexuality" hidden deep within humans and devoted himself to free and experimental photographic expression. His conceptual style and works incorporating Japanese elements are said to be one of the things that brought postwar Japanese photography to the world's attention, and all of his works published by the 1970s, including "Man and Woman", "Kamaitachi", "Killed by Roses", and "Embrace", are still highly popular today as masterpieces. This book is a special issue on Eikoh Hosoe, part of a series of books on famous photographers published in the 1990s by Aperture, a non-profit organization in the United States. The above-mentioned representative works are introduced.
