Monograph of Japanese artist Sadao Hasegawa (1945-1999). “He has been called Japan’s Tom of Finland because of his celebratory stance towards male homosex, much symbolic emphasis on male-male eroticism and Japan-style sado-masochism. But the similarity ends there. His work is a riot of bright optimistic colour and his symbolisms go deep into the myth and legend of the non-Western world.” (from cover blurb)

Minor shelf wear, slightly cocked. Some foxing and soiling, mostly to first and last few leaves. Previous owner’s name. Foxing to jacket verso. Good Condition.
