Miyoshi . – „Many Japanese photobooks are designed around the ritual of removing them from their slipcases or covers and opening their pages. The second book collaboration between Hosoe and the dancer Tatsumi Hijikata makes a complex ceremony even of viewing each photograph. Every picture page is a blue gatefold that must be carefully unfolded before the image can be viewed. Looking at this book cannot be done in a hurry. Kameitachi derives from a journey that Hosoe made to the far north of Japan’s main island after returning home from a European trip in 1964. He travelled with Hijikata to the Tohoku region. Both had been born there“ (Parr/Badger). – Der Klarsicht-Schutzumschlag am Rückendeckel im unteren Drittel etwas beschädigt (jedoch komplett), sonst tadellos.
