Published by Akaaka Art Publishing in 2021 and reprinted in 2025 after selling out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe story behind the book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFukase loved cats all his life. Rather than a cat book, this edition places Sasuke at the core of his work, newly selected and edited from scratch. It also shows what he explored through the series: a pure experience where subject and photographer are not yet separate, and a way of seeing that mixes sight and touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a 1979 book Fukase wrote that after a year of lying on his stomach at a cat's eye level, he had almost become a cat. He did not want to photograph a pretty cat, but his own affection reflected in the cat's eyes, so the book could be called a self-portrait borrowed from Sasuke and Momoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of Sasuke and Momoe, including unpublished images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn essay by Tomo Kosuga, director of the Masahisa Fukase Archives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Masahisa Fukase\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1934 in Hokkaido, Fukase was shown in New Japanese Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1974.
