Toshio Saeki's Inkenka, published in 2001 as a first edition by Kawade Shobo Shinsha: a large-format collection of his ero-guro drawings, 126 pages, with three flyers still with the book.
The Piece
Toshio Saeki (1945-2019) drew a private Japan in which desire, folklore and violence share the same page, a line of work often placed in the ero-guro tradition and followed by illustrators and painters well beyond Tokyo. His pictures are precise, brightly coloured and calmly composed, even when the subject is cruel, and they have been issued in a long run of books, prints and posters from the 1970s onward.
Inkenka appeared in 2001 from Kawade Shobo Shinsha, in a first edition whose ISBN is 4-309-25514-0. The book is a large soft-cover volume, 30 x 22 cm (11.8 x 8.7 in), 126 pages, with a pictorial jacket: a woman and a man in period dress occupy the front, the title Inkenka and the artist's name running down the sides. Inside, the plates are printed in strong, flat colour, full-page and double-page, the line clean and the palette saturated.
Three flyers come with this copy, among them a card of a woman's face in dark glasses, the lenses filled with a street. The book has been kept with care, and the plates remain bright and even.
