LYU HANABUSA "Femme Fatale" Photo Book Lyu HANABUSA, photographer. "Femme Fatale." Japan: Fuga Shobo, 1995, First Edition, OOP, HB, dj, 31 cm x 24 cm, Approx. 110 pp, b/w photos. Condition: Very Good, with obi. Comments: Hanabusa lives in both Japan and France and is probably the photographer who is most like the great French photographers, Jeanloup SIEFF and Jean-Francois JONVELLE, in both style and quality. Seeing an example of Hanabusa, one could easily be confused. Being Japanese though, Hanabusa is not above doing the occasional popular sexy model/idol book. At these times he can adopt a persona more like Nobuyoshi Araki, Tenmei Kanoh or Hajime Sawatari. The book must be scarce - Fuga Shobo is a publisher that went out of business in 1995 and took a plethora of high-quality photo offerings into permanent out-of-print. Photographers that were published by Fuga Shobo include greats like Nobuyoshi Araki and Akira Gomi. Photos in Sieff/Jonvelle style with beautiful buxom European models. A beautiful book, scarce and hard-to-find - Helmut Newton without the fetishistic qualities. Similar to Hanabusa's "Bedroom," "Qui est Elle," and "Take Off Your Clothes." This import photobook was never published outside of Japan. Lyu Hanabusa Biography: Born 1949, Osaka, Japan. Lyu Hanabusa made his debut as a professional photographer with the read more
