Third edition and one of 500 numbered copies signed by the photographer. An excellent facsimile of the original 1963 edition produced by the Japanese art shop NADiff, in close consultation with the photographer. Folio. As new in the original printed box and with the two inserts."Photographs of writer Yukio Mishima, mostly in black-and-white by Eikoh Hosoe. Mishima asked to be the subject of Hosoe's photography, and became a performer in these images. Soon after the publication of a revised, second edition of the book, Yukio Mishima committed suicide. This new edition includes a preface by Mishima; a prelude of drawings; a photographer's note by Hosoe; an afterword by Mark Holborn" (Joan Flasch Collection). The 1963 first edition is considered one of the most original photography books of the twentieth century. Mishima himself was captivated by Hosoe's photographs and wrote in his preface "?The world to which I was abducted under the spell of his lens was abnormal, warped, sarcastic, grotesque, savage, and promiscuous . . . yet there was a clear undercurrent of lyricism murmuring gently through its unseen conduits.?
