Description from the seller
Coffret Chizu (the map) - Kikuji Kawada
Maquette édition
Mack, 2021
Excellent état, le coffret et les 3 livres sont en état parfait
Le carton de protection à des marques visibles (voir photo)
The Map / Chizu by Kikuji Kawada is the most famous and sought-after book in the history of Japanese photography. Created according to a design realized with the renowned graphic designer Kohei Sugiura, Chizu has undergone several new editions since its original publication in 1965 (Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, Tokyo). In November 2001, the New York Public Library acquired the rarest version of the book, the unique hand-made mock-up by Kikuji Kawada.
Chizu / The Map is a study of the consequences and repercussions of World War II in Japan, focusing particularly on the catastrophe of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
This Mack reissue (2021) is a facsimile of this two-volume mock-up, and it includes a bilingual English/Japanese booklet offering a study of the project by Joshua Chuang and Miyuki Hinton, as well as a long interview with the artist detailing the evolution of one of the greatest photography books ever created.
Contents: two hardcover books, each with a jacket (one illustrated with a photograph, the other plain white), plus a softcover (black) booklet including a section in a Swiss binding and a section in Leporello. The set is housed in a rigid case, itself protected by a white printed cardboard. Texts in English and Japanese
