Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the publisher: "Originally published on August 6, 1965 -- the twentieth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima -- The Map ("Chizu") by Kikuji Kawada is a true icon in the history of photographic publishing. Its status as the "ultimate photobook-as-object," coupled with its scarcity, combined to make it one of the most famous and sought-after photographic publications in existence. The Map combines powerful graphic design with a masterful photographic narrative exploring recent Japanese history -- its imperialistic past, western-influenced popular culture, and brutally violent clash with the United States. The photographs, many visible only with the opening of the multiple [double-page] gatefolds, capture on high-contrast film scenes of places and objects seared with the memory of horrific wartime events, from the atomic-bomb dome in Hiroshima to a trampled Japanese flag. Nazraeli Press, in association with Getsuyosha (Tokyo), is proud to announce a facsimile reprint of this historic book. This edition is limited to only 500 copies for distribution in the United States and Europe. Each copy is hand-numbered and signed by the artist, who also oversaw production of the project."
