Title: Yellows 2.0 Tokyo 1993 – Akira Gomi – Japanese Photography Book (First Edition Slipcased) Description: A rare and striking visual anthropology piece by Japanese photographer Akira Gomi, Yellows 2.0 Tokyo 1993 is a conceptual portrait collection published by Fuga Shobo in 1993. This is the 6th printing (Nov 12, 1993) of the first edition (originally published Oct 13, 1993), housed in its original slipcase and designed with remarkable visual precision by Neville Brody and Propeller Art Works Co., Ltd. This work explores Japanese identity through standardized portraits of women with uniform poses, paired with basic personal data such as height, birthplace, and blood type. The intention is not to sexualize but to neutralize, offering a sociological typology. Each model is photographed with scientific detachment in a consistent studio setup, echoing Gomi’s broader interest in biological anthropology and race representation in media.
