Kenmochi is a leading figure in postwar Japan, primarily with artists from VIVO, PROVOKE, and CAMP. Amid the current global popularity of Japanese photography from the 1960s and 1970s, this unique man's presence must not be forgotten. Katsuo Kenmochi, a photographer who, for over 40 years, published reportage in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the National Police Agency, launched the "Drug Elimination Campaign" to put a stop to the "drug vortex" spread by American soldiers after Japan's defeat in the war. Furthermore, in order to avoid secrecy and human rights violations in drug investigations, he mastered the abstraction of photographic expression through ingenious photographic techniques and the use of mechanisms. He utilized these techniques to discover a unique worldview in the artistic expression of "sexuality" and "eroticism." This rare photographer, active not only as a journalist but also as an artist, is a rare figure. This book fully showcases Kenmochi's artistic talent in the world of eroticism. According to the photographer, "This is not a photo book, but a 'photo imagination.'" At the end of the book, there is also a detailed text about the special techniques used. A romantic work by a photographer who has mastered both the art of "recording" and "creation.
