Toshio Saeki, Akai Hako/Red Box, 1972
The very best collection of works by the Godfather of Japanese erotica himself. Previously Saeki had published two other art books, both smaller, cheaper, and in black and white, and at the same time, he had been making a living providing his artwork for SM magazines. This book is filled with art made exclusively for its creation, and was deeply inspired by the events surrounding his wife having a stalker, causing the couple to have to move around in secret and hide at friends' houses.
As is common with this edition, the outside box has a lot of fading and scuffs, but is whole. The book itself also has handling marks, and, as is present on every copy of this first edition, the printing has been slightly offset to the opposite side on the white pages. This book was expertly bound, and there is no worry about loose pages coming about as you practically open every page flat without issue.
