[Tokyo, Asahi Sonorama Co., Ltd.], 1978.
Small square quarto, [120] pages with 104 pages of illustrations from photographs by Ikko Narahara (and a portrait photograph of the artist on the last page). A return-address postcard from the publisher is loosely inserted.
Papered boards slightly bumped at the extremities; top edge a little foxed; an excellent copy with the very good dustwrapper a little crumpled and slightly torn at the head of the spine.
'The photographs in the first part of this book were taken in the Trappist Man Monastery in Hakodate City, Hokkaido. The second part includes photographs made at the women's prison in Wakayama City' (from the English-language afterword by Shoji Yamagishi). The text is predominantly in Japanese (including all captions). Number 9 in the Sonorama Shashin Sensho series (which eventually ran to 27 volumes).
