FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1972 photogravure (also known as a Héliogravure) by the renowned 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 photogravure plate is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.

READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame. While most of our clients frame our quality mounted vintage prints right out of the box exactly as delivered, you also have the option of adding an overlay window mat in the color or style of your choice which can be inexpensively done with a quick visit to your local arts/crafts store or framing shop.
