A first edition of YELLOWS PRIVACY '94 by Akira Gomi, one of the most recognizable Japanese photographic publications of the 1990s.

Part of Gomi's well-known Yellows project, this volume takes a distinctive, documentary-like approach to the nude, photographing twenty-five women together with glimpses of their private living spaces. The result is as much a study of personality and environment as of the body — a characteristic example of provocative, design-driven Japanese photography from the post-bubble era. The book is known for its bold graphic design, oversized format, and glossy printing, with bilingual credits and shooting data printed throughout.

A desirable title for collectors of Japanese photography books, 1990s photobooks, and Japanese art-book editions.
