Sado - Yasushi Sugino
$145 Available thru link in bio
Following more than a decade of near blindness, Yasushi Sugino returned to photography with this intensely personal portrait of Sado Island. Sugino seems to follow light, reflections and fleeting details, transforming ordinary landscapes and encounters into something strange and dreamlike. The photographs move between rich, saturated colour and stark black-and-white, giving the book a deeply atmospheric, almost otherworldly quality. Oversized hardcover with slipcase, self-published in the 1990s, 156 pages. by @information_party

Koji Wakamatsu Pink Film Collection: My Feast of Eros
SOLD
Very on top collection of stills from one of Japanese cinema’s great outsiders, and master of the pink film, Koji Wakamatsu. Chock-a-bloc with highly exploitative sex, violence and anarchist politics, My Feast of Eros was published in 1970, 158 pages of mainly illustrations (most of which I can’t put up here). Wakamatsu eventually made more than 100 films and even produced Nagisa Oshima’s In the Realm of the Senses. by @information_party

Kinema Junpo Special Horror Issue 1969 - Ed. Shoji Otomo
SOLD
Kinema Junpo: Mystery and Horror, published in 1969, is a special issue devoted to horror, the supernatural and monster cinema - compiled by the hugely influential Japanese editor and writer Shoji Otomo, whom many of you may know as Dr. Kaiju.

Otomo was a key figure in the development of Japan’s 1960s SF, kaiju and horror publishing, known for his highly visual approach to popular culture, combining film stills, illustrations, diagrams and encyclopaedic information. This issue brings together material on Japanese and international horror cinema, monsters and the supernatural, with contributions from writers including Michio Tsuzuki and film critic Nagaharu Yodogawa.

Has some beautiful gravure printing, with double sided poster, making this an excellent example of the strange, richly illustrated visual culture surrounding horror and monster films in 60s Japan. by @information_party
