Grey DJ with pastel lettering and illustration; purple over cloth boards with silver lettering and illustration; 98 unnumbered pp.; chiefly illustrations. "Yukio Mishima, the most renowned writer in postwar Japan, shocked the whole world with his suicide in 1970. His ritual death created showckwaves that drew more attention in the West than the sublime quality of his prose. Shortly before his suicide, he worked closely with Eikoh Hosoe, the celebrated photographer, to prepare a monumental edition of their epic achievement "Barakei." This book is the first Western edition of that extraordinary collaboration between a visionary genius and a brilliant photographer." -- DJ.
