Part one of Dan Oniroku’s rare 1972 photobook trilogy with photographer Shizuma Shirahama.
Each book consists largely of color and monochrome images recreating 19th-century Japan with its colorful kimonos, katakanas and thick ropes. It’s as if each photograph was a movie still.
Everything about this series is superb, from the staging work to the quality of the printing and binding.

A trilogy with a rare aesthetic!
