Feature

First edition silver foil version photo book documenting one day with legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto in New York City, photographed in 1995 by Kazunali Tajima.

Description

In 1995, at the request of Ryuichi Sakamoto himself, photographer Kazunali Tajima accompanied him through the streets of Manhattan. From subways and sidewalks to cafés and restaurants, the book quietly documents a single day in the life of the then 43-year-old artist.

Shot in both color and black and white, the photographs offer an intimate and unguarded portrait — revealing Sakamoto not only as a global cultural figure, but as a private individual moving through the city.

This copy is the first edition silver foil version, distinguished by its foil-stamped clothbound cover and titled label. As the earliest and most refined release of this publication, it holds particular significance for collectors, standing as an archive-quality object at the intersection of music, photography, and Japanese contemporary art.
