Description from the seller

A photobook by Miyako Ishiuchi. This is a revised and expanded edition of Endless Night Streets (1981), one of her early trilogy.
Focusing on former red-light districts and ex-brothel areas, the work captures in black and white the surfaces of streets, walls, and buildings. It emphasizes tactile qualities—decay, scars, and dampness—rendering them almost palpable.
In contrast to the impulsive, private gaze of the original edition, the presence of the human subject recedes here. Instead, the city itself emerges as an entity imbued with memory and time.

Condition: Fine. Signed by Ishiuchi.

Seller's Story

Totodo is a curated antiquarian bookstore based in Japan, dedicated to art books, photography, exhibition catalogues, artist publications, and rare out-of-print titles. Rather than operating as a volume-driven reseller, we approach bookselling as a form of editorial practice. Each work is carefully selected for its artistic significance, historical context, and lasting relevance, with an emphasis on titles that have shaped visual culture and contemporary thought. Drawing from decades of experience in the Japanese art book ecosystem, as well as relationships with collectors, estates, and specialized distributors, we are able to present material that is both culturally important and increasingly scarce in the international market. We maintain rigorous standards for condition assessment and bibliographic accuracy, and every item is securely packaged for international shipment. Our aim is to provide collectors and institutions with thoughtfully chosen works, professional service, and complete transparency.
