AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A photobook by Masahisa Fukase, featuring photographs of his wife, Yoko. First published in 1978 as Volume 8 of the Sonorama Photo Series by Asahi Sonorama, the book brings together images from 1964 to 1976, capturing fragments of married life, travel, and everyday moments.
Within this intimate relationship, shifting emotions are rendered with striking candor. A pioneering work that established the private sphere as a legitimate subject of photographic expression, it is widely regarded as a landmark of shi-shashin (personal photography) in Japan.

CONDITION
There is slight sun fading to the spine of the jacket. Otherwise in very good condition.

SHIPPING
Shipped via EMS or DHL. Delivery is available within one week, with a tracking number provided.

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.
