Tad Wakamatsu. Ipy Girl Ipy.

Wakamatsu, Tad. Ipy Girl Ipy. Tokyo: Heibon-Sha, 1970. First Edition. 4to, 136pp. Photographic wraps with a little rubbing and scuffs to corners. With Obi, which is a little worn. More images available on request. VG+. Softcover.

Wakamatsu's masterpiece. Here, he travels through America with actress Haruko Wanibuchi shooting bikers, hippies, New York, a fishing village etc. Its quite an amazing book, certainly one of the best Japanese Photobooks. Amazing scenes and nudes, and a rather surreal documentation of America in 1970.
