Works

Created dramatic black and white photographs often featuring the human body, most famously collaborating with writer Yukio Mishima on 'Barakei (Killed by Roses)'. His experimental approach influenced generations of Japanese photographers exploring surrealism and the body. Works held at MoMA, the Getty, and major Japanese collections.
