Finephoto is pleased to offer an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1960’s photogravure by the renown Japanese photographer Tamotsu Yato. Born in 1928, Tamotsu Yato was a Japanese photographer responsible for pioneering Japanese photography of the male form. He created iconic black-and-white images of the Japanese male with his nude and semi nude models being mostly amateur, unsophisticated countryside men. Yato photographed his male nude and physique studies during the 1960’s in Japan. His work influenced many photographers of the male form worldwide, both in his day and after. He was a close friend and collaborator of the famous writer Yukio Mishima whom he also photographed nude, as well as a long-term romantic partner of Meredith Weatherby, an expatriate American publisher and translator of Mishima’s works into English. Tamotsu Yato died in 1973. This quality sheet fed gravure plate was printed in two sided gravure by the Inshokan Engraving Company in Tokyo, Japan in the late 1960’s. Condition is excellent for this 55+ year old plate.
