Considered to be one of the most important Japanese photo books of the 20th Century
Mentioned in the Japanese Photo books of the 1960’s and 70’s by Ryuichi Kaneko and Ivan Vartanian.
Shinoyama’s very first book, published in a magazine style but with the form of a book with adverts (later known as mook genre)
The large-scale format with its iconic cover design, heavy colour sections and fold-outs form a complex and radical piece of photo publishing.
An amazing photo book
