First Edition, 2006. Book measures 9 x 11.25 inches. Part of the Masterpieces of Japanese Photography series, this version of Hikari (Light: An Explication) by the Tampei Photography Club is a faithful reproduction of the 1940 photobook of the same name.

This volume perfectly captures the imaginative photography and the avant-garde sensibilities of the group, and includes 111 plates. Also included is a booklet with a critical text by Kotaro Iizawa and an essay providing further information and context by Ryuichi Kaneko in Japanese and in English translation. Published in a limited edition of 400 copies. Fine in oatmeal cloth with embossed red design. Dust jacket is clean and bright, and has the obi. Includes original oversize box housing the book.
