Masao Yamamoto

26 gelatin silver and digital pigment prints, each with the photographer's copyright/title/medium/edition stamp, signed, titled, dated, and variously editioned in pencil, on the reverse, 1988-2002, each from an edition of 40; in a custom-designed lacquered wood box, the photographer's name and 'Nakazora' stamped on tin in the box interior (27)

These prints are in generally very good condition. The prints range in size from 3/4-by-1/2 inches to 3-and-1/2-by-6 inches. The prints are purposely torn to the image, and the edges are consequently somewhat irregular. Various creases, both soft and sharp, are visible on a number of the prints as intended by the photographer.
