Four fantastic prints by the master of eroguro art - Toshio Saeki. Each print is signed, numbered and dated - all in perfect condition (even though they are 12+ years old!).

And they are so pretty! You can really appreciate the amount of detail in each painting when it is such a large size. You can count the eyelashes (and arteries). SIGNED in gold marker by Takato Yamamoto.
Available as a set of three and also individually:
 |  |  |
| Fermentation of a Hermaphrodite poster | Twin Roses poster | Transformation of a Sanctuary poster |
Additional detail photos are available in each individual poster page.

Just in, several rare books by these two great Japanese artists. This is the first time any of these books has made an appearance on AkaTako. They were found after long searches and some earnest help from Japanese friends.
Suehiro Maruo's books:
 |  |  |
| New Century SM Pictorial | Maruo Jigoku II | Paranoia Star |
Toshio Saeki's books:
 |  |  |  |
| The Earliest Works | The Early Works | Chimushi 1 | Chimushi 2 |
Once they are sold out I will certainly try to get them again but it is definitely not guaranteed.
I also managed to find a SIGNED first edition copy of Trevor Brown's Forbidden Fruit.
