Published in 1985. The cover shows signs of aging, but the gravure pages are in good condition. Regarding the subject, definitive information could not be obtained. It mentions "Miss Japan 82," but this is not the Grand Prix winner. This is a common occurrence; many female talents claimed to be "former Miss Japan," but they often held a divisional award, not the Grand Prix. However, this isn't considered misrepresentation, as it was customary for all award recipients to be referred to as Miss Japan of that year. Therefore, the notation is likely correct. Next, the "Special Limited Japan Edition" seen on the lower left of the cover, etc., suggests an attempt to sell it overseas, considering the English lettering on the cover and the costumes, which seem to represent the image of "Japanese women that foreigners would like" according to Japanese sensibilities. The photographer is listed as Mike Okada, who has been in charge of several large-scale projects that are now highly sought after. Strictly speaking, he isn't a camera expert. He came from the editorial department of a publishing company, and his primary role was to bring projects to fruition, with photography being an extension of that. Therefore, it's quite conceivable that he was the mastermind behind the production of this gravure photo book aimed at the overseas market. Around this time, in 1980, the movie "The Woman" was released in France, starring Akiko Kana as an Edo-era female Gidayu performer. Her alluring poster was stolen all over Paris. Whether Okada knew about this or not, it was a time when foreign knowledge of Japan was still somewhat skewed. Doesn't the composition of these shots seem to reflect that? However, the project itself likely wasn't successful. It's even unclear if it was actually sold. Would this book be classified as a "rare item?"
