The definitive volume of everything Shigeo Gocho (1946-1983) published in his lifetime, the plates volume of a two-volume complete edition, with a documents volume planned for November 2023. It reproduces every picture of the four books he saw into print: Days (1971, shared with a classmate from Kuwasawa Design School), SELF AND OTHERS (1977, sixty photographs, each with a person in it, himself included in the self-portraits), the ink-blot book Spiritual Travels (1980, fourteen symmetrical blots made from January 1972) and Familiar Street Scenes (1981, 47 colour pictures on Kodachrome), together with the marbling series Memories of Water and the six pictures of Childhood published in Nihon Camera in June 1983. Arranged by year of making, photographs and non-photographic works appear as a pair of outer and inner. Vintage prints and original film that he left guided the printing, with a different paper for each series, and the volume closes with an essay by Yukiko Tomiyama, a chronology and a list of works.
