Description from the seller
A rare Japanese photo book titled “Heaven”, photographed by Seiichi Nomura and published in 1991.
This volume features elegant black-and-white photography with a strong 1990s Japanese editorial style. The book includes models credited on the cover/back as Macoto Ohara, Machiko Sawaki, Kimi Tachihara, with bold monochrome portraits and artistic nude compositions.
The visual design is striking: a glossy red obi band, minimalist typography, and high-contrast photography create a sophisticated collector’s presence. This is the type of Japanese photobook that appeals to collectors of 1990s photography, Japanese pop culture, gravure history, and art nude publications.
