This portfolio accompanies the release of Masahisa Fukase's monograph published by Éditions Xavier Barral. Designed by Éditions Xavier Barral (Paris) and Benrido studio (Kyoto), the portfolio includes five collotypes of Masahisa Fukase made by Benrido on Torinoko Washi paper. It includes three B&W and two color prints from the new series Private Scenes in which Fukase photographed different locations by turning the camera on himself, described by Simon Baker as "an incredible series of proto-selfies, in which Fukase bears witness to the whole range of strange and desperate lifestyles (both animal and human) to be found on the streets and bars of Tokyo."
