An exceptionally rare photobook published in Kyoto in conjunction with Dennis Hopper's 1994 exhibition. This elegantly produced monograph documents Hopper's photographic observations from visits to Tokyo and Kyoto in 1991 and 1994, presenting black and white images of everyday Japanese life seen through the lens of a talented gaijin.  A significant cross-cultural document capturing the intersection of American counterculture iconography and traditional Japanese aesthetics. First and only printing, June 11, 1994.
