thinkingimages: Kagero (Mayfly) - Daido MORIYAMA | shashasha 写々者 Traveling down memory lane and going back 50 years in time, I arrived at a small and nameless village at the cape of a certain peninsula. What I found there were five naked women, all equally tied up with ropes, and with dazed looks on their faces. So I got out my camera and spontaneously began to take photographs. It was a strange day; a day like an ephemeral vision.– Afterword by Daido MoriyamaOriginally published in 1972 under the name Kagero (Mayfly), this rare and out of print book of Daido Moriyama reveals a lesser known aspect of the street photographer’s work through this gorgeous Kinbaku nude series made with Oniroku Dan, a celebrated writer of SM novels in Japan. Re-published by Akio Nagasawa in a luxurious cardboard slipcover, includes unreleased images. Signed. -- source link
