An early and highly sought-after nude photobook by one of Japan’s most important photographers, Kishin Shinoyama. Published in 1970 by Mainichi Shimbun (jointly edited by Camera Mainichi and Mainichi Graphic), this large-format softcover showcases Shinoyama’s bold and sensual nude work shortly after he went freelance. The book is known for its dynamic visual impact and pop sensibility, earning him the nickname “the undresser” (nugase-ma) in the Japanese media at the time. The portfolio is divided into six striking series: Death Valley – powerful nudes shot in the vast American desert Twins Brown Lily Maki and the Chinese Tiger Perspective / Penetration Immortal Maidens CONDITION Light rubbing to the cover; tape marks on the endpapers; slight wrinkling to the top edges of the pages. Overall in very good condition.
