About This Item
New York: Aperture Foundation, 1985. First American edition. Hardcover. Fine condition. Folio. Unpaginated. Original light purple cloth with vertical oval silver paper on cover, silver lettering on spine; in original color-illustrated dustjacket with yellow and blue lettering on spine. Gray endpapers. Gilt emblem and lettering on red title page. Signed by photographer Eikoh Hosoe on front endpaper. Preface by Yukio Mishima, photographer's note by Eikoh Hosoe, and epilog by Mark Holborn.
"Yukio Mishima, the most renowned writer in postwar Japan, shocked the whole world with his suicide in 1970. His ritual death created shock waves 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."
