70' Tokyo Transgender | Satomi Nihongi | Komiyama Tokyo 2021 [SIGNED] [NUMBERED]

"This photo book contains 126 portraits of transgender people taken by photographer Satomi Nihongi since 1970. 

...

This book is composed of photographs taken at gay bars and clubs in Shinjuku, Akasaka and Aoyama late at night. The photographer himself says that he started taking photos out of curiosity, but as he frequented the establishments, he gradually began to receive phone calls asking him to "come and take some photos," and he would sometimes be on standby dressed up. We hope you enjoy the aesthetic sense and worldview of the time expressed in the fashion, hair and makeup." - From publisher's statement
