Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and '70s by Ryuichi Kaneko & Ivan Vartanian (Aperture Foundation / 2009)

'Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and '70s presents forty definitive publications from the era, piecing together an otherwise invisible history. Included are some of the most influential works along with forgotten gems, placed within a larger sociological context. Each book, beautifully reproduced through numerous spreads, is accompanied by in-depth explanatory text highlighting important editors, designers, and themes. Lavishly produced, this unique publication is an ode to the distinct character and influence of the Japanese photobook.' Features examples of the photobook from some 37 authors.

First edition hardcover. Some tearing to detachable red, card 'belly band' which has been repaired with sellotape, but otherwise this book is in VERY GOOD condition with clean, unmarked pages and no discernible defects.
