Published as the 42nd issue of the renowned “Untitled” series by the Friends of Photography, this volume is a definitive survey of the career of Eikoh Hosoe, one of Japan’s most influential postwar photographers. The book features 31 high-quality black-and-white plates that span his most famous series, including “Man and Woman” (1959–60), “Barakei: Ordeal by Roses” (his legendary collaboration with Yukio Mishima), and “Kamaitachi.” It also includes his later studies of the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. With an afterword by Ronald J. Hill, the monograph illuminates Hosoe’s role in moving Japanese photography away from realism toward a more theatrical, psychological, and avant-garde aesthetic, making it an essential reference for collectors of Japanese visual culture.
