Additional Details

This lavishly produced collaboration between Hosoe and the founder of Butoh Dance, Tatsumi Hijikata, consists of a sequence of images, each a gatefold, the outside of which is printed in a rich blue, inspired by the legend of the Kamaitachi and called a "subjective documentary" by Hosoe.
