Description from the seller
This is "Breasts Through the Looking-Glass" by Ryosuke Handa, a Japanese photo book built around the distinctive use of mirrors.
It was published in Japan by Futami Shobo in 2003.
The book presents photographs of women’s breasts from both frontal and side perspectives, showing subtle differences in shape, outline, and visual impression through the mirror-based approach. The compositions are consistent and almost catalog-like in their clarity, yet the soft light and blurred frontal views give the images a sensual, quiet, and poetic atmosphere.
The original cover and obi band are included. The obi carries the striking Japanese copy "Jitsubutsu-dai de haiken shimasu," meaning that the images are presented at life size, which reflects the concept of the publication at the time. This is an appealing volume for collectors of Japanese photography, body-focused art books, and early 2000s visual publications. According to the provided condition details, the book is clean, with no damage, and is in very good condition.
