Real Fake Doll, Watanabe Yasuji, 2009.
$70.00
Watanabe Yasuji, who also works under the name Amidacamera, was the Editor of SM Sniper from 1988 to its shutting down in 2009, a tasteful and talented photographer who worked with the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki, this photobook is similar to Mario Ambrosius' 2000 photobook, 'ma poupée japonaise,' in that this is a photobook with a live model pretending to be a doll, also the model, Miu Nakamura, doesn't have the bands around her joints that Mario A used in his book to give the model the appearance of a ball-jointed doll. Regardless, this nice collection of 00s semi-erotic photography has some great moments.
Hardcover, 68 pages.
