The Map (Maquette Edition) is a photobook by Kikuji Kawada, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. Despite his overwhelming popularity and fame, he has published few photobooks, but in recent years he has released Memories of Distant Places 1951-1966, The Last Cosmology, and Vortex, a collection of color illustrations that he has been uploading on Instagram in recent years, and is attracting attention again. This book is a new edition of Kawada's masterpiece, The Map, a monumental work that has made its mark not only in Japan but also in the history of photobooks around the world. It has been reprinted by Getsuyosha in 2005 and Akio Nagasawa in 2014, but this book is a complete reprint of the two-volume "maquette" edition that was handmade at the time of the conception of this work and was collected by the New York Public Library in 2001. The design is different from the original version, which opens like a double door, and presents a new way of looking at the "map." The book includes text by a researcher from the library, as well as an interview with Kawada. Signed by the photographer .
