Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New in publisher's shrink wrap. First English language edition. Large oblong octavo. 128pp. B/w photo-illustrated dust jacket, with white lettering on the front cover and spine. Black paper boards. The first English language edition of this controversial work, following its original 1980 Japanese publication. 62 images throughout. "Captured in three Tokyo parks in the early seventies, Kohei Yoshiyuki's 'The Park' features some of the most intriguing photographic works of art ever. Shot at night using flash and infrared film, the photographs show hetero- and homosexuals gathering for furtive sexual encounters in the Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Aoyama parks. These amorous scenes, however, are unpleasantly crowded; even before Yoshiyuki (b. 1946) approached them with his camera, the couples had become objects of desire for voyeurs. 'It's not the sex in Yoshiyuki's photographs that is shocking, but rather, it is the reckless, pent-up fascination of the voyeurs-men so possessed that, for the moment, nothing else exists or matters-and the sense that we've all been there,' writes Vince Aletti. The photographs, which generated a great deal of interest when first published in an austere Japanese edition in 1980, are presented here in duotone quality alongside an interview with the artist conducted by Nobuyoshi Araki." - The Publisher.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "Yoshiyuki was a young commercial photographer in Tokyo in the early 1970s when he and a colleague walked through Chuo Park in Shinjuku one night. He noticed a couple on the ground, and then one man creeping toward them, followed by another. "I had my camera, but it was dark," he told the photographer Nobuyoshi Araki in a 1979 interview for a Japanese publication. Researching the technology in the era before infrared flash units, he found that Kodak made infrared flashbulbs. Yoshiyuki returned to the park, and to two others in Tokyo, through the '70s. He photographed heterosexual and homosexual couples engaged in sexual activity and the peeping toms who stalked them." cm 21x26; pp. 90; BW ills.; paperback lacking the dust jacket.

First Edition
Softcover. Condition: g. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. [114]pp. Original photographic dust-jacket over stiff wraps. A controversial volume of 74 photographs taken by Japanese photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki, who, using a 35mm camera, infrared film, and flash, documented people who gathered in several of Tokyo's parks at night for romantic rendezvous and the many spectators that lurked in the bushes to watch and sometimes participate. The photos are raw, voyeuristic and uncomfortable. Photographer Martin Parr commented that they perfectly capture "the loneliness, sadness, and desperation that so often accompany sexual or human relationships in a big, hard metropolis like Tokyo." True first edition with red bellyband / obi. Upper edge of dust-jacket partly creased and chipped. Minor rubbing along edges. Text in Japanese. Dust-jacket in overall good- to good, wraps in good, interior in very good condition.
