| BODYVISION : Lithuanian Nudes Between the years of 1956-1966, Lithuania saw the emergence of a new photographic generation. Slowly but surely, a wealth of independent, divergent styles were able to flourish once more. The irony present in the work of Aleksandras Macijauskas, whose allegories contain hidden, subversive criticism, the romantic viewpoint of Rimantas Dichavicius, and the surrealism of Vitaly Butyrinas, serve to underline just a few trends. In the 1980s, and riding on the wave of Perestroika, yet another generation came to the force, including Violeta Bubelyte, who constantly questions in her self-portraits the nature of her own literal nakedness, Gintaras Balionis, with his symbolic and metaphoric observation, and Pranas Gudaitis, whose nudes were obviously influenced by classical painting. The work of Virgilis Sonta evokes a strange and apolyptic world. Romualdas Pozerskis, whose models posed for him in the studio of his artist friends, not only relegated the nude to a far less important role, but also managed to accentuate the manifold artistic positions in painting and sculpture. Aurelija Cepulonskaite, the youngest of the photographers presented in this book produces sensitive pictures of young girls. Loving couples form the basis of Rolas Simulis' work; they are tender and seek harmonious relationships. In the work of both photographers, we notice new possibilities of expression, countenanced only by a recently independent Lithuanian state. { 159pp, 245x285mm, October 1996; PB, £9.50, 3980501701:9783980501705 , Edition Reuss } |
| CONSERVING [Daniel & Geo Fuchs] Life and death are the themes which have always exerted an incredible fascination on human beings. This trilogy, entitled Conserving -- which includes 'Conserving Fish', 'Conserving Animals' and 'Conserving Humans' -- is a sensitive confrontation with a part of our life that is frequently repressed or treated taboo. Daniel and Geo Fuchs pursue exciting new paths in this photographic work. Their virtuosic use of lighting enables them to breathe new life into specimens, some of which have been conserved in alcohol or formaldehyde for as long as 300 years. The appeal of their photographs derives from the breathtaking beauty of the colours and structures and from a magical expressiveness which invites the viewer to enter hitherto unknown worlds. The images, which recall the enigmatic paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, simultaneously become icons and venerable, reverential objects. For the first time ever, these artistic photographs depict specimens from natural history museums and anatomical collections, many of which have never before been on public display. Daniel and Geo Fuchs rank among the newly discovered stars in the world of contemporary photography. In recent years, they have won international accolades for their projects and exhibitions. The photos in this trilogy are scheduled to be shown at numerous international exhibitions. The photos are especially impressive thanks to the unprecedented brilliance of the colour and the extreme depth of field, which conveys a startlingly three-dimensional impression. International famed photographers Daniel and Geo Fuchs have successfully translated a fascinating theme into a major document in the field of contemporary photography { 240pp, 245x315mm, March 2000; HB, £54.99, 3934020011:9783934020016 , Edition Reuss } |
| CRAZY SEXY GIRLS : Limited Gold Edition, Latvian Girls in Riva [Photography by Ralf Vulis] Girls! Girls! Girls! For anyone picking up this unusual book, this is the first thing that will strike them. Latvian girls are different. The way they break so easily into laughter, and their obvious pleasure in the erotic photo sessions ... but the main event was eight naked young women taking the bus through the centre of the capital, Riga. Everyone had a lot of fun, including the somewhat incredulous audience, the models themselves and, of course, the photographer! { 128pp, 170x210mm, September 2002; HB, £27.50, 3934020186:9783934020184 , Edition Reuss } |
| CRAZY SEXY HOLLYWOOD [Carlos Batts] "Carlos Batts strikes again. I know of no other photographer who can shoot such a bizarre and powerful blend of lifestyle and eroticism. Batts transports us to a Hollywood fraught with erotic contrasts: exciting bikini-clad girls, nude devils, gorgeous transvestites, shameless exhibitionists. Many of his creative ideas are downright attacks against the conformist, bourgeois tastes of the conservative masses. This is a book for everyone who's open and uninhibited, and who occasionally enjoys seeing eroticism in the arts as an explosive mixture." -- Matthias Reuss. Text in English, German and French. { 128pp, 170x240mm, May 2003; HB, £9.50, 3934020216:9783934020214 , Edition Reuss } |
| CUTE CHEEKS [Martin Krake] Text in German & English. These are tough times for avowed derriere eroticists. Breasts have become the modern focal points of erotic attraction, and buttocks seem to have fallen victim to a taboo. But according to ethnologists, the upraised bottom and the presentation of the female pudenda rank among the strongest sexual sign stimuli. This expresses itself in the human urge for artistic creation: painters, sculptors, literati and poets have always kept a sharp eye on backsides. So too has photographer Martin Krake, who evokes our enthusiasm with this volume, which contains a large number of erotic rear views. According to an African proverb, "The rear is not the end of it all, but only the beginning." { 128pp, 170x240mm, April 2008; HB, £36.50, 3934020496:9783934020498 , Edition Reuss } |
| EROTIC DIARY OF LYNN W [Ben Walker] To continue to have satisfying, exciting sex with one’s spouse, even after ten years of marriage, is surely among the most beautiful and most natural things that can happen to a loving couple. Never before has a happily married wife and mother dared to allow her sexual desires, dreams and experiences to be photographically documented with such openness and honesty. Ever since the beginning of their relationship, Lynn’s husband, the English photographer Ben Walker, has taken his camera into their bedroom, where he shot erotic photographs of such incredible intensity that they make the viewer feel that pure joie de vivre and lust are the most natural things in the world. The photos are augmented by Lynn’s extraordinarily intimate prose, in which she describes her earliest sexual experiences and her evolution to the present day. Original pages and notes from her secret diary are reproduced as facsimiles here, in a book that ignores taboos and oversteps frontiers in an impassioned plea for love, lust and the joy of life! { 184pp, 170x240mm, September 2005; HB, £18.50, 3934020356:9783934020351 , Edition Reuss } |
| FAMILY NUDES [Ralk Mohr] The people in these pictures extrude a natural aura; they do not possess the body of a model, and coming across these individuals in the state that nature intended is a perfectly normal occurrence. Mother, father, son and daughter are all naked because they revel in the beauty and strength of their own bodies. This is a book about respect. In the first place it concerns the respect of parents for their children, who have learned to trust them in return. But also about respect for the wonder that is life, a phenomenon that for nine whole months is lived out in the mother's womb and which, with the baby's arrival, changes forever the lives of parents. { 236pp, 300x300mm, August 2001; HB, £54.99, 3934020100:9783934020108 , Edition Reuss } |
| FAMOUS EYES [Daniel & Geo Fuchs] This book offers an unprecedented documentation of our era's most famous people, including artists, photographers, designers, creators of culture, musicians, actors and architects. Each of these people was present with his or her full energy and enthusiasm when Daniel and Geo Fuchs used a box-like Polaroid camera, which had originally been developed for eye doctors, to produce these creative highlights. The beginning of each session was devoted to the project of taking an extreme close-up of the celebrity's eye. The next step was to stage a second image, which usually integrated the first portrait of the person's eye. The resultant photographic artworks are every bit as diverse as are the personalities of the photographed individuals. These portraits accurately reflect the many facets of life: from gorgeous and aesthetic, through crazy and shrill, to desolate and thought-provoking. A representative collection of these fascinating photos is available now in this large-format photo book. Book and slipcase. Text in English, German and French. { 240pp, 240x300mm, March 2002; HB, £18.50, 3934020062:9783934020061 , Edition Reuss } |
| FEMININE ANARCHY 2 : Girls Pissing in Public [Amanda James] Text in English and German. It must be tremendously pleasurable for young women to piss uninhibitedly in public. And precisely this pleasure is what’s conveyed by the expressions on the cheerful, saucy faces of the women who participate in this unconventionally 'moist' book. These uninhibited girls claim their right to pee in the corner or to let their warm juice soak through their panties and trickle down their long legs. Conservative men may perceive this as a threat to the traditional privilege of taking their cocks out of their pants and pissing wherever they choose. But progressive contemporaries are already dreaming about unisex pissoirs. { 128pp, 170x240mm, September 2006; HB, £36.50, 3934020380:9783934020382 , Edition Reuss } |
| FETISH THEATRE [Alan Tex] The stages are tragically funny in this world where the clown tries desperately to enter in a loving communication. Alan Tex was born in 1951. He has exhibited in Brussels, Barcelona and Hamburg. His latest exhibition took place in 1998 at the Musée de l'Erotisme in Paris. His work has been published in magazines in Spain and the Netherlands. He is a member of the Galerie d'Enfer club in Brussels. { 96pp, 245x340mm, June 1999; HB, £13.99, 3980501779:9783980501774 , Edition Reuss } |
| GALITSIN'S ANGELS [Grigori Galitsin] The Russian artist and photographer Grigori Galitsin was born in Razdelnaya near Odessa at the Black Sea in 1957. He studied classical painting at the art academy in St Petersburg. Today he lives and works in Volgograd. Galitsin’s grandfather gave him his first camera, one of the first Leica models, which he’d bought from the German army in 1947. Galitsin soon turned away from academic painting: photography had captured him under its spell. Galitsin was able to pursue entirely new paths when Perestroika arrived and Russia opened to the West in the early 1990s. Like-wise decisive for him was the speedy evolution of the Internet, which enabled him to debut his sensitive, erotic portraits of Russian girls world-wide online in 1996. The success was overwhelming. His photographic style is not a copy of Western patterns, but results instead from his creative and unconventional exploration of one of the most popular themes in art: the depiction of the female body. Although Galitsin’s models are all of legal age, his photographs of these young, nymph-like girls radiate an aura of playful innocence and enchanting naturalness. To our great delight, it seems that tattoos and piercing haven’t yet found their way to faraway Russia. Grigori Galitsin (www.galitsin-news.com) numbers among Russia's foremost contemporary photographers. { 144pp, 200x280mm, March 2005; HB, £45.50, 3934020348:9783934020344 , Edition Reuss } |
| HAPPY NATURISTS : Natural Nude Living in Ukraine [Andrii Litovchenko] Naturism is one of many forms of encounter that bring nations and peoples together world-wide. Human beings encounter one another here with a naturalness and mutual respect that go beyond false modesty and prejudices. Photographs by the Ukrainian photographer Andrii Litovchenko aptly convey this atmosphere. The freshness and vitality of these photos makes them a genuine pleasure to look at. With unfeigned candidness and honesty, he photographs fellow members of the KCN club (Kiev Commonwealth of Naturists), of which he is the founder. The human body is an entirely natural theme for him, and naturists are the ideal models to convey this. Photographs taken in a traditional Russian sauna and on the beaches of the Crimean Peninsula are among the many images in this exciting book for all. { 128pp, 180x245mm, April 2004; HB, £18.50, 3934020259:9783934020252 , Edition Reuss } |
| HAPPY NATURISTS 2 : Natural Nude Living in Ukraine [Andrii Litovchenko] Andrii Litovchenko, photographer and director of the 'Kiev Commonwealth of Naturists' presents his second photobook, in which he documents the diverse naturist activities of his friends and his club’s members. These people, who love the simple life and who love it most when they’re nude and free in the out of doors, occupy the focal point of his photography. Of course, there’s plenty of partying too, because socialising is written with a capital 'S' in the Ukraine! We accompany cheerful naturists into the sauna. We enjoy the fantastic landscapes of the Crimean Peninsula, where people are free to camp wherever they like. And we admire artworks painted on naked bodies. Andrii Litovchenko has created an honest book that invites each reader to take their own trip to the Ukraine. { 128pp, 170x240mm, September 2005; HB, £18.50, 3934020321:9783934020320 , Edition Reuss } |
| INSIDE MOTHER EARTH [Max Wisshak] Text in English, French & German. A Fantastic Journey into Our Planet's Interior. Nearly the entire surface of the Earth has been photographed and documented. Our world has grown too small for us. But has everything really been researched, surveyed and settled, designed and built upon as we see it? When we turn our gaze inward and view the Earth's interior, we discover new and far greater dimensions. Max Wisshak's flashbulbs illuminate realms that otherwise dwell in eternal darkness, where he photographs a hidden world full of fairytale beauty. With his artistic sensitivity for contrast and pictorial composition, he has succeeded in creating pictures which capture the magic that awaits travelers who dare to descend into the depths of the Earth, to enter an inner world and delve into the roots of our essential being. In the midst of this wondrous world stands the solitary human being, small, with no one but himself to rely upon, and connected to life on the surface like a spider hanging from a gossamer thread. This photobook by the dedicated scientist, speleologist and photographer Max Wisshak is not only a highlight for speleologists and geologists, but also and above all for people who are interested in nature and who haven't yet forgotten how to gaze in awe at the beauty of our world. { 152pp, 240x300mm, September 2008; HB, £45.50, 3934020674:9783934020672 , Edition Reuss } |
| INTIMATE OBSESSIONS [China Hamilton] English photographer China Hamilton has earned world-wide fame with his artistically staged pictures. His photos are intimate portraits of women who delight in opening themselves and in surrendering unconditionally to the obsessions of this master photographer. This collaboration results in images that are mercilessly honest and incredibly powerful. The play with the dark and abyssal aspects of erotic fantasy is brilliantly staged through the skilful use of light and shadow. But Hamilton is also a poet, whose magical pictures invite their beholders to linger and enjoy icons of lust from another world. { 128pp, 210x285mm, September 2007; HB, £45.50, 393402047X:9783934020474 , Edition Reuss } |

The pretty Japanese girls in his hand-coloured black-and-white photographs transport us into the erotic fantasy worlds of a Japanese artist who is inspired by thousand-year-old traditions and sexual rites.

| LUST & PAIN [Photography by Guy Lemaire] These sado-masochistic pictures by Belgian photographer Guy Lemaire transport us into another, highly erotic dimension of lust: Look at me. I am your divine slave. I am the nude virgin. I am the sin of pain. Baptise me with this tenderness that you engrave upon my skin, with these thousand needles that pierce my flesh. You look at me, you implore me. I know that now the point of my heel will crush your flesh until tears of gratitude gush forth. We know that the songs of leather play at the end of our straps. REVIEW: "Tough, uncompromising, dark and explicit..." -- Skin Two, Winter 2000. { 144pp, 270x270mm, September 2000; HB, £27.50, 3934020054:9783934020054 , Edition Reuss } |

Young people in Byron Bay, Australia have made this dream come true and have integrated it into their lifestyle. In this book, you will experience pretty nudists who enjoy their nakedness, go for nude hikes in the jungle, perform yoga exercises in the nude on the beach, or celebrate life in unspoiled natural surroundings. The pleasantly warm climate on the shore of the Pacific Ocean encourages them to indulge in these naked pleasures all year round. Incidentally: shaved pubes are unknown here, where naturally thick, lush pelts of pubic hair never went out of style. Text in English, German and French. { 128pp, 200x280mm, May 2006; HB, £45.50, 3934020364:9783934020368 , Edition Reuss } |
| NORDIC ANGELS [Gerth Sernelin] In this unique photobook, the Swedish photographer Gerth Sernelin treats us to three decades of erotic photography. Rarely has the beauty of the nude female body been so candidly documented. Constantly changing fashions are also evident in these photos. In the 1970s, most of the models still had largely untamed, natural pubic hair. In the 1980s, a trend toward trimming and shaving led to progressively shorter pubic hair in narrower patches. Finally, the smooth and entirely hairless pudenda became the new ideal of beauty in the 1990s. Sernelin shows us the most beautiful women in intimate portraits. These angels from the Far North couldn't be photographed more erotically! { 160pp, 240x335mm, April 2005; HB, £18.50, 3934020313:9783934020313 , Edition Reuss } |
| NUDE IN PUBLIC [Jan Vels] These pictures by photographer Jan Vels show young women presenting themselves nude in public: in the pedestrian zone of a big city, in a pizzeria, among the spectators at a marathon race, strolling through a wintry landscape, or sitting in a car. Each of these locations and situations is a place where ordinary citizens wouldn't necessarily expect to encounter a beautiful nude woman. { 136pp, 180x245mm, April 2004; HB, £36.50, 3934020267:9783934020269 , Edition Reuss } |
| NUDE IN RUSSIA 1 : Cold Winter -- Hot Girls [Igor Nadin] Text in English and German. You would be tempted to believe that in the depths of the Russian winter, ice and snow are the ruling factors -- but this is belied by our hot Russian girls, eager to show off their assets in the chilliest settings. Cheerful and absolutely natural, they posed nude in the open air at temperatures of up to minus 25 degrees Celsius and showed us that the Russian winter is more than just cold -- it’s also highly erotic! { 128pp, 170x240mm, September 2006; HB, £36.50, 3934020402:9783934020405 , Edition Reuss } |

| PANTYHOSE KILLER GIRLS [Elmer Batters] Text in English, French & German. Every "pantyhose kill" is a delight for the eyes and ears. First she seeks the spot, for example, in the crotch. With one index finger, she pokes a little hole in the fabric between her legs. Crack! Her first index finger disappears, while the other one creeps stealthily toward the small opening from behind. She increases the pressure unlike the first threads yield to the tension with a rustling sigh. Then there's a loud crackle and a big hole gapes open, completely exposing everything. Every shooting is an erotic happening. And Elmer Batters, the old master of stocking photography, would have been delighted with Mathias Angelov's exciting photographs. { 128pp, 170x240mm, April 2008; HB, £36.50, 3934020488:9783934020481 , Edition Reuss } |
| PISSEUSES [Claude Fauville] Claude Fauville's poetic, drenching essays portraying the forbidden fountain-head in all its femininity. Claude Fauville was born in 1940 in Charleroi, Belgium. The centre of his activities is his atelier in Brussels. His work has been seen in over 200 exhibitions around the world. Along with numerous contributions to various publications, he is also represented in a number of public and private collections. { 118pp, 275x275mm, June 1999; HB, £31.99, 3980501760:9783980501767 , Edition Reuss } |
| PREGNANT : Nudes [Ralf Mohr] The women in this book present the results of their fertility before the camera with enthusiasm and in all openness. They are completely 'normal' women, not models, or beautiful bodies specially chosen by the photographer. Single mothers, women with partners (whether married or not), students involved in long-distance relationships, large women, small women, happy and less happy ones -- they all experienced their term of pregnancy in highly individual ways. But they all had one thing in common: with virtually no exception, each was proud of the shape of her rapidly growing abdomen. Ralf Mohr's photographs prove the point: silky, smooth skin over full breasts, the laden belly, the ample bottom -- is this not the epitome of femininity? { 96pp, 220x220mm, August 1998; HB, £27.50, 3980501752:9783980501750 , Edition Reuss } |
| PRINCESS OF DESIRE [Ken-Ichi Murata] Japanese photographer and visual artist Murata creates highly detailed photographic stagings which evocatively depict nude models as though they were characters in an erotic fairytale. His enchanting models blithely shed their clothing and reveal their gorgeous nude bodies. What Murata strives to illustrate with these young girls is the image of the hime: an ancient Japanese word which can denote both a feeling of awe and a yearning for women. The conventional meaning of the word "hime" is noble princess. His second photobook too is a virtuosic and fantastic journey into erotic dream worlds. { 84pp, 170x240mm, September 2007; HB, £45.50, 3934020461:9783934020467 , Edition Reuss } |
| PRIVATE PASSION [Luis Durante] Wild passion and total trust feed the flames of love between Spanish photographer Luis Durante and his fiery muse Idoia. His penetrating images put their shared erotic dream worlds into artistic form. Idoia is a beautiful exhibitionist who gladly allows us to participate in her sexual pleasures, for example, when she widely opens her moist sex, slips her entire hand inside and surrenders to lust... Two unconventional lovers create their own magical world, share the joy of experimentation as they creatively invent new sexual games, and eternalise their relationship in powerful photographs. Text in English, German and French. { 128pp, 200x280mm, May 2006; HB, £45.50, 3934020399:9783934020399 , Edition Reuss } |
| PUSSY POWER : Ultimate Portraits of Young Sexy Girls [Anton Volkov] Text in English, French & German. Are young women allowed to do it? Young women do it! The saucy amateur models in Anton Volkov's first photobook don't ask a lot of questions. They just self-confidently exercise their right to proudly display their exposed vulvas. Whether naturally hairy, partly shaved or totally smooth, each girl lives her own style. History offers many examples of Pussy Power in even grander dimensions. A glimpse under a ruffled skirt could spur a dispirited knight to renewed bellicosity in the 13th century. Today too, the power and appeal of the female sex continues strong. But don't take our word for it. Simply open this book and see for yourself! { 128pp, 170x240mm, September 2008; HB, £36.50, 3934020658:9783934020658 , Edition Reuss } |
| RUSSIAN BEAUTIES : Album 2 [Alex Truew] In this second volume of photographs, Russian photographer Alex Truew again enchants us with his sensitive nude portraits of innocent Russian nymphs. Connoisseurs who appreciate photographs by Grigori Galitsin or David Hamilton will surely enjoy these Russian beauties. Take your eyes and your imagination on a wonderful voyage and accompany lovely girls, many of whom pose nude here for the first time. It's practically a miracle to discover that such a romantic and natural world of eroticism still exists in today's often hectic and seldom innocent world. { 96pp, 170x240mm, May 2007; HB, £27.50, 3934020437:9783934020436 , Edition Reuss } |
| RUSSIAN BEAUTIES : Album 1 [Alex Truew] Text in English and German. The first collection of photographs by Alex Truew, this book is a romantic tribute to the beauty and innocence of youth. Even today, Russia is still a boundless, untamed country composed of many different peoples, a country offering richly varied types of women with features ranging from European to Asian. This mixture often creates fascinating, exotic beauties that fire the enthusiasm of more than Russian photographers. The collection contains remarkably intimate, sensitive portraits of Russian girls against backgrounds that are typical of their homeland – in countryside or village settings, or nude in the snow. { 96pp, 170x240mm, September 2006; HB, £36.50, 3934020410:9783934020412 , Edition Reuss } |
| SEXY BIKINI GIRLS 1 [Mathias Angelov] Cute girls, summer, sunshine, tanned skin and … a tiny scrap of fabric. This book introduces you to photographer and bikini designer Mathias Angelov, who has put together a unique volume of photos featuring the most erotic bikinis you have ever seen! The daring bikinis of this cheeky textile saver scoff at prudishness with brightly coloured transparent fabrics that become nearly invisible when wet. These swimsuits highlight the very places that a wisp of textile typically conceals: skin-tight hot pants with a central seam that beautifully conforms to the contours of a shaved vulva, brazen thongs that vanish between curvaceous buttocks, and postage-stamp-sized tops from which something almost always slips out. { 128pp, 170x240mm, May 2007; HB, £36.50, 3934020445:9783934020443 , Edition Reuss } |
| SHAVEN ANGELS 2 [Peter Lorenz] "I think that by shaving her pubic hair," Peter Lorenz explains, "a girl demonstrates her honesty and self-confidence. These women uncover their vulvas and self-confidently display their genitals. Freed from its fleece, the mound of Venus appears fuller, plumper, more sumptuous. I like that." Probably it is also the tremendous pleasure which everyone experiences during the shoots that makes these girls' poses -- no matter how daring they may sometimes be -- always look highly erotic, but never seem pornographic. { 160pp, 240x335mm, September 2000; HB, £36.50, 3934020046:9783934020047 , Edition Reuss } |
| SHAVEN ANGELS 3 [Peter Lorenz] These 'Shaven Angels' are both simultaneously vulnerable and self-confident. There is nothing artificial or doll-like about these angels. They really look like the proverbial 'girl next door'. It's not the size of their breasts or the length of their legs that matters, but solely their personalities. Lorenz has a surprising answer to the question of whether the girls had to shave themselves expressly for his photo shoots. "Nine out of ten were shaven already," he says. He believes that their hairlessness has to do with a fashion trend and perhaps with the urge to catch up on something that was formerly forbidden because of an old taboo. { 160pp, 240x310mm, June 2002; HB, £36.50, 3934020135:9783934020139 , Edition Reuss } |
| SHAVEN ANGELS 4 [Peter Lorenz] In the past, when shaven pubes openly and visibly revealed a woman's labia, people were shocked by what they assumed to be a shameless display of feminine lust. But in the meantime, shaven pubes have become an aesthetic reality and have even found their way into youth culture. Nowadays, teenage girls and boys alike scorn pubic hair, which they regard as bothersome and unaesthetic. The feeling of a hairless body is 'in'. The aesthetic of shaven pubes is the current trend. Former trendsetter Peter Lorenz, along with his Shaven Angels have become classics. Text in German, English and French. { 160pp, 240x310mm, June 2004; HB, £36.50, 3934020283:9783934020283 , Edition Reuss } |

The grand master of an art is known in Japan as a "sensei": this book contains works by many of the finest and most prestigious master tattooists. These virtuosos provide inspiration and serve as role models for a younger generation of tattoo artists in their Asian homeland and abroad. Included are rare and beautifully documented works by traditional masters with their delicate and impressive full body suit tattoos, the style of which has changed very little since the Edo Period, when this art form first became popular. The art works are splendidly depicted in intimate photojournalism, where they provide silent testimony to months spent under the needles of these unparalleled masters, who explore the possibilities of their métier on and in their clients' skin. Tattoo aficionados will be familiar with the names of artists such as Horitoku, Horiyoshi III and Horiyasu, but this comprehensive book also features the diverse styles that are prominent in contemporary tattooing. The spectrum ranges from old school, to neo-traditional and contemporary styles. The volume's generously large format provides ample space for impressive photographs which artfully capture the diversity and lively creativity of Japan's contemporary tattoo scene. The visual interest is further enhanced by a successful mix of studio shots and photographs taken onsite. This lavishly illustrated book prioritises excellent printing and the best colour reproductions. Join us on a visual journey and indulge your senses in incredible imagery and colours. The book is divided into four chapters: Tokyo, Chubu (the region between Tokyo and Kyoto, with Nagoya as its capital city), Kyoto and Osaka. Tattooists in each metropolis have their own distinct styles and trends, spanning a wide spectrum from classically conservative to totally eccentric and extreme. Readers who are eager to delve more deeply into the subject will appreciate the numerous, well-researched texts about the history and background of tattooing. Rounding out the volume are interviews with grand masters, who offer exciting insights into their lives and work, as well as into the tattoo scene in general. "Tattoo in Japan" is a very special book that could only have been created thanks to a unique combination of much love, intense dedication and the utmost efforts by all its contributors. We sincerely hope you'll feel and share our enthusiasm. { 320pp, 245x315mm, April 2008; HB, £80.99, 393402064X:9783934020641 , Edition Reuss } |
