TAKIZAWA, Osamu. Gestation of a Dream.

(Tokyo): Red Post, 1981. First edition. Folio. Unpaginated. Short textual work My Familiars by the photographer in which he explains the theme of the book, “a phantasmagoria of images engulfing, and being engulfed….”. A surreal work of 94 double page spreads printed in guarve with images of a re-occuring woman, Kako, interspersed with those of fish, turtles, snails and a rat. A near fine copy in pictorial boards. Haunting and obscure. This example inscribed by the photographer to Professor Yoshiaki Inui.
