"Kamaitachi" (2009, Signed), a photo collection by leading Japanese photographer Eikoh Hosoe. Through collaborations with artists such as his first photo collection "Man and Woman", his first collaboration with Tatsumi Hijikata, and "Ordeal by Roses" with writer Yukio Mishima, Eikoh Hosoe has pursued the issues of "life" and "sexuality" hidden deep within humans, and has devoted himself to free and experimental photographic expression. His conceptual style and works incorporating Japanese elements are said to be one of the things that brought recognition to postwar Japanese photography around the world. This book is a reprint and popular version of the photo collection published in 1969, and is the second collaboration with dancer Tatsumi Hijikata. "Kamaitachi" is a legendary creature that harbors the spiritual energy of Tohoku. Hijikata plays the role of the legend and performs a vivid performance in the downtown area of Tokyo and the rural areas of Akita, expressing the ripples caused by encounters with people, the sensuality of the local climate, and the orgasm of life and death. This is one of Eikoh Hosoe's early representative works, depicting the intense aesthetic sense that lies within himself through his unique visual aesthetics. Signed by the photographer .
