"Yukio Mishima, the most renowned writer in postwar Japan, shocked the whole world with his suicide in 1970. His ritual death created shock waves that drew more attention in the West than the sublime quality of his prose. Shortly before his suicide, he worked closely with Eikoh Hosoe, the celebrated photographer, to prepare a monumental edition of their epic achievement Barakei. This book is the first Western edition of that extraordinary collaboration between a visionary genius and a brilliant photographer.".…

Workshop was the eponymous journal of Workshop Shashin Gakko. This independent photography school taught limited-enrolment classes by its co-founders, Tomatsu Shomei, Moriyama Daido, Araki Nobuyushi, Hosoe Eikoh, Fukase Masahisa, and Yokosuka Noriaki. Each photographer taught a workshop for a period of one year, with a strong emphasis on one-to-one teacher-student relationships. During the first year, Nakahira Takuma and Narahara Ikko also taught two additional two-month courses. The journal actively explored new trends in photography through essays and criticism by members of the group and others. Issue 4 was edited by Araki and was based on the simple theme of 'making photography,' for this issue, he contributed an essay on how to shoot good portraits. Issue 6 was the most controversial issue, published in January 1976, which announced, 'We Will Sell Photographs: An Exhibition of Photographs Selected by Twelve Photographers,' which was issued to accompany an exhibition in February 1976 as an attempt to present photographs as commodities. At that time in Japan, as elsewhere, sales of photographs as works of art were virtually non-existent, and there was some resistance to the idea, most notably from Norio Asaki in Asahi Camera. The Workshop Photography School lasted from April 1974 until March 1976, but one last journal issue was issued in July 1976. This eighth issue featured 'A Roundtable Discussion with Names Withdrawn: Bashing Photography Magazines,' in which the Workshop teachers set about challenging the conventional views of photography put forward by Asahi Camera and other photography magazines, as well as criticising popular photographers, including Kitai Kazuo and Shinoyama Kishin. The school continued briefly as Araki's Private Photo School until 1977, when Araki offered another one-year workshop. The Workshop Photography School paved the way for several independent galleries and organisations that followed, such as Image Shop Camp, Photo Gallery Prism, and Photo Gallery Put.

Hardcover. Condizione: vg- to near fine. New edition. Large oblong folio. 15x21". Unpaginated. All content housed inside the publisher's original cardboard shipping box, with printed label pasted on the front. Binding protected in original a white cloth portfolio, with red lettering on the front cover, and lavishly decorated interior flaps. Black suede-covered boards with mutli-colored illustration mounted on the front cover. Decorative endpapers. Engraved stainless-steel plate showing Mishima's face, mounted on black paper, preceding the title page. The deluxe and lavishly printed new bilingual edition of the acclaimed and eroticly-charged work (also know as "Killed by Roses") by Japanese photographer Eikoh Hosoe (b.1933). It gained notoriety and elicited controversy when it was originally released in 1963, and won the Japan Photo Critics Association's writer award. The main photographic subject of the book, the acclaimed and controversial writer Yukio Mishima (1925-1970), wrote the preface to the original edition and also writes the preface for this new edition (both are included here). Mishima's acclaimed works include the famous and controversial novels "Confessions of a Mask" (1949) and "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" (1956). Hosoe's striking high-contrast b/w photographs are all printed in high-quality photogravure, retaining all the power and atmosphere of his original images. In comparison with the first version of the work, this edition features the content having been noticeably re-edited, with one image added, a few others removed. The images have been thematically re-organized into five new chapters with the names "Sea & Eyes", "Eyes & Sins", "Sins & Dreams", "Dreams & Death" and "Death", respectively. Influential artist and graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo (b. 1936) oversaw all of the design and layout aspects of the book and also created its additional illustrated elements, most of which comprise the first chapter of this new edition. While Hosoe was still completing work to prepare this new edition of "Ordeal by Roses", the notorious "Mishima Incident" occurred (November 25th, 1970), which culminated in the ritual suicide of Yukio Mishima by seppuku. The incident shocked the nation, and in its wake the photographer was quite unsure of how to proceed regarding the publication of the book. Not wanting to seem like an opportunist taking advantage of the controversy and the publicity surround Mishima's death, he contemplated shelving the project, but was later persuaded by Mishima's widow, Yoko, who said that her husband would have wanted it to be released. It was finally release only a few months later, on January 30th, 1971. Text in Japanese and English throughout. Portfolio with foxing to the white cloth, including the front cover and the interior (but the illustrations on the flaps are still clean). Suede binding clean and protected in modern mylar. Light foxing to the edges of the book block. Interior with all pages and images clean and vibrant, save for a few sporadic instances of the most minor stains or smudges on the blank versos a few pages. The verso of the final photographic plate and the page opposite have a bit more foxing. Portfolio in very good-, binding and interior in very good+ to near fine condition overall.
