1932. [Shinko Shashin no Tsukurikata 新興写çoeŸã�®ä½oeã‚Šæ–¹ Kanamaru Shigene 金丸é‡�嶺 GenkÅ�sha 玄å-‰ç¤¾ Showa 7 昭å’Oe7 [1932] (Avant Garde). 4to volume 27x19.8cm bound western-style in decorated boards. The book design and covers are by Onchi KÅ�shirÅ� æ�©åoe°å­�四郎, perhaps the most important book designer of the 20th century in Japan. This volume and Hiko Kanno 飛è¡Oe官能 [The Sensation of Flight] are considered masterpieces. In addition, one may not ignore the fact of this work's great impact on Japanese photographers of the day and thereafter. The text and selected images provided a new artistic vocabulary for an entire generation of photographers. Foxing and overall toning to slipcase. But, this book is unusually hard to find, particularly in its slipcase. This is a very good copy of the amazing covers and book design of the work. The slipcase is very faded but intact and remarkable. Only the second copy we have ever handled. .
