"Arabia," by Kishin Shinoyama and Shoichiro Shiwachi, published by PHP Institute, Tokyo, 1976, 150 pages, small folio-size hardcover in pictorial boards housed inside matching pictorial board slipcase, further housed inside plain cardboard slipcase with printed label (complete as issued), 16" by 11". Magnificent and rare early photo pictorial by Japanese photographer Shinoyama on Saudi Arabia, with an electric presentation of dark color photos focused more on villagers and desolate landscapes than on royalty. Barely known Shinoyama book, and yet easily among his best. With commentary in Kanji by writer Shiwachi. Especially rare with both slipcases. Book in fine condition, slipcase with light edgewear, outer cardboard slipcase with tear and bump to one corner.
