Cecil Beaton
Japanese
New York: The John Day Company, 1959.
First printing.
One of Beaton's more ambitious large-format books, recording a visit to Japan in the 1950s.
His extraordinary ability to mimic other styles means he can draw and write script in a convincing Japanese manner. He also gains access to intimate moments of Japanese life, such as the theater and life of the Geishas.
Unclipped jacket is particularly well-preserved.
Hardcover, dedicated to Truman Capote.
