"The Americans, 81 Contact Sheets" uses the National Gallery's originals as the plates and reproduces Frank's contact prints using the finest printing techniques.
Normally, this book was only available to those who purchased other photo books from Muramotosha, but this time, it will be available for special sale as a standalone book.

『Flower Is』
Published by Yugensha in 1987, limited to 500 copies, designed by Kohei Sugiura

"Flower Is" is a photo book published by Yugensha in 1987, following "The Lines Of My Hand."
Due to the small print run, it was normally only available to those who purchased other Yugensha publications, but we will be offering it as a special standalone sale.
This book has also been traded for high prices of 5,000 to 8,000 dollars at the overseas auction house Christie's.
Due to the small print run of 500 copies, it is a rare book that is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
