Published by Pan-Exotica, this is a wonderful book of art by Takato Yamamoto. There is a cardboard sleeve with a long rectangle cut out so you can view the artwork on the actual book cover.
Hardcover in a gunmetal grey silk, measures approximately 7.5" x 10". About 80 pages. Full color and black and white plates. Published in 1998, 2001 & 2007 (this is the third edition).
SIGNED inside the front cover in black marker.
Takato Yamamoto is known in Japan for his highly detailed drawings that feature androgynous men/women/boys/girls with a strongly morbid overtone. His characters are usually staring directly into the viewers face while in the midst of strange acts. There's usually a skull or two thrown in for good measure and a decidedly dark and unhappy flavor to his work.
