Embrace

First Edition, 1971. 94 pages. Book measures 10.5 x 14.5 inches. Black cloth. 

Preface by Yukio Mishima. Text in Japanese. Over 70 full-page black and white gravure printed photographs. Interior text shows foxing to front and rear endpapers. Very slight foxing to some areas of edges of interior pages, though this does not affect the photographic images. This foxing is minor and not very noticeable, though I want to mention it. The dust jacket is bright, and shows only faint signs of rubbing, but no chips or tears, Lacking the cardboard slipcase and obi. A solid copy for someone who doesn't want to pay high end collector prices and wants to own this beautifully printed book that was also designed by Hosoe. Priced accordingly. Very Good- in Very Good+ dust jacket.
