English description: 4to. (250 x 190 mm). [30 unnumbered leaves]. Illustrated with 34 monochrome photogravure plates, including several double-page by Hosoe Eikoh. Original publisher's yellow cloth with red printed title, glossy dust-jacket with typographic printed title in green and white and photomontage image, white slipcase with printed title, blue / grey obi with printed text in black. An excellent copy of the first edition of Hosoe's Otoko to Onna / Man and Woman. Produced in collaboration with the dancer Hijikata Tatsumi and with mise-en-page by Araki Minoru, 'Otoko to Onna' records - with extraordinary elegance and touching eroticism - a Butoh performance of Hijikata's troupe. 'Hosoe's book is a series of photographs - characterized by Hosoe's elegant and precise sense of form - recording an evolving performance by Hijikata's ensemble, which gradually becomes more abstract as it progresses. The 'dance' itself is a series of musings on the subject of sexuality. It begins with the women, carrying such symbols of fecundity as a fish or a flower, but eventually Hijikata, with his finely-honed musculature, takes centre stage.'
