Description from the seller

Kikuji Kawada’s The Map, published by Getsuyosha in 2005. This edition is a carefully produced reprint of Kawada’s landmark 1965 photobook, preserving the structure and sequence of the original while adapting its complex gatefold format for easier viewing and reading. Through images of the scars and traces of Hiroshima, the book presents one of the most powerful visual meditations on memory, war, and postwar Japan in the history of Japanese photography. Book design by Naomichi Kawahata. Text in Japanese and English.

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.
