16mo (21,5x16 cm), pp. 16 Rilegato mezza tela (half-cloth binding) Perfetto (Mint)Kikuji Kawada is best known for his seminal 1965 book The Map (“Chizu” in Japanese), a disquieting exploration of the trauma of World War II and subsequent westernization of Japan. This series, as well as Kawada's subsequent bodies of work, has been exhibited and collected around the world, influencing generations of photographers.
Mask is the third publication by Nazraeli on the work of this extraordinary artist, and his first contribution to the One Picture Book series. Limited to 500 numbered copies, Mask presents for the first time all 11 images from this series of the same name that Kawada created in the mid-1970s.
