Description: "Les Fleurs du Mal: Rehabilitation par Mon Sexe," by Akira Suzuki, published by Nobel Syobo in Japan in 1968, 114 pages, hardcover with title stamped in gilt, housed inside black board slipcase with gilt stamping, 11.75" by 9.25". Text in Japanese, with poem in French. Bizarre Japanese photo book from the late 60's Japanese underground, a lysergic pictorial inspired by Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal." Stunningly printed in rich, deep photogravure on thick paper stock, with exceptional layout - a cast of female characters, predominantly nude, in warped, theatrical poses, deployed in collaged images with graphic embellishments. Amazing book, reminiscent at times of the pictorial work of Shuji Terayama and Tetsuya Ichimura. The work also featured in cult 1968 Japanese horror film “Blind Beast,” directed by Yasuzo Masumura. Rare In very good condition overall - interior clean, some scrapes and smudges to cover of slipcase, bottom right tip of case only bumped. Buyer to pay for item plus shipping.
