(Geribara 5). ARAKI, Nobuyoshi et al

Mizugi no Yangu Redii-Tachi / Young Ladies in Bathing Suits

Tokyo: Fukushu-Shudan, Geribara 5 (1971). First Edition. Quarto. The second book of the Geribara 5 series. While Nobuyoshi Araki's participation in the Geribara 5's first book, Benjo, is questionable, his influence in this volume is more apparent. A catalogue of young women (and some young girls) at the beach, with their names and numbers reproduced in holograph by their images. The lurid objectification of this conceit is mitigated by the almost clinical nature of the images, and the uninspired backdrop of an overcrowded beach town. (Koharto 76, Parr / Badger, v1, 296). Fine in photo-illustrated wrappers as issued. Sharp copy.
