Ba-ra-kei: Ordeal by Roses is one of the most iconic works in Japanese photography, this striking collaboration between Eikoh Hosoe and Yukio Mishima blends baroque intensity with surreal portraiture. Originally released in 1963, this 1985 edition captures Mishima’s haunting presence and themes of beauty, eroticism, and death.
