Summary:
Eikoh Hosoe's Kamaitachi, a classic and groundbreaking body of work, was originally released in 1969 as a limited-edition photobook of one thousand copies. A unique collaboration between photographer Eikoh Hosoe and Tatsumi Hijikata, the founder of ankoku butoh dance, the work documents their visit to a farming village in northern Japan and the improvisational performance that resulted, made with the participation of local villagers and inspired by the legend of kamaitachi, a weasel-like demon who haunts the rice fields and slashes those he encounters with a sickle. In 2005, in close consultation with the artist, Aperture released a limited-edition facsimile in homage to the original. This 2009 edition now includes four never-before-published images from the classic Kamaitachi series and a new text by Japanese scholar Donald Keene, as well as essays by Eikoh Hosoe and Suzo Takiguchi. This edition was painstakingly reworked by graphic artist Ikko Tanaka, designer of the original volume, shortly before his death.
