Description from the seller

Published in 2002, the revised edition of Back Feature captures erotic tension through the back alone. A striking photobook by Japanese photographer Ryu Hanabusa.

Focusing on the shoulder blades, spine, nape, and waistline, the series explores the fine line between exposure and concealment with carefully controlled framing. The book blends black-and-white and color imagery, letting skin texture and shadow read like sculptural form—quiet, minimal, and intensely graphic.

The colophon states “First edition, first printing: October 1, 2002,” with Ryu Hanabusa credited as author. This copy comes with the original obi band, adding to its collectability.

A visually powerful piece that also displays beautifully on a shelf.



--- Condition ---
Minor light scuffing on the cover. Interior pages are clean and in good condition, with no notable tears, heavy creasing, or stains observed. Obi band included. Please refer to the photos for details.
