Urado Hiroshi (Ed.): ”Sun and Moon サン・アンド” No. 3, 5, 6, 10/11 (1978)

In the first images here (from issue 3 and issue 5) rope is by Yamamoto (see further my last blogpost about ”The Beacon”).

Then follows four images with rope by Urado, from issue 6, where the model Mayumi Miyata appears (mentioned in my earlier post about the magazine ”Image” No.2), with Urado using his hands to form her face. (Marginal note: Issue 5 also features some of the photos of Urado’s rope that are included in Image No. 2, along with an article – but here, the photo-reproduction is not as good [small, black and white, non-glossy paper].)

In the double issue 10/11 there is a photo-illustrated article called ”Female seppuku mania letter”. As we shall see in an upcoming post, this as a recurring theme in a related publication from this time.
