TERAYAMA Shuji, Japanese Dream

Shuji Terayama

Zen Foto Gallery

2013 marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of the great Shuji Terayama, film director, poet and icon of the Japanese counter-culture. To commemorate the occasion, Peter Tasker and Mark Pearson of Zen Foto Gallery have produced a special collectors’ item - an English language translation of a selection of Terayama's essays, in loose-leaf format, with copious notes. They come in an attractive box that also includes the original Japanese language edition and large-format reproductions of the accompanying photographs by Japanese masters Daido Moriyama and Takuma Nakahira, as well as some by Terayama himself. This is a limited edition labour of love and, we think, the only example of Terayama’s prose available in the English language.
