Ipy Girl Ipy was made during the travels of photographer Tad Wakamatsu with actress, model and singer Haruko Wanibuchi (鰐淵晴子). The first 40 pages show the actress with bikers and hippies. This is followed by 34 pages of studio nudes (16 of them printed on transparent paper), and 6 pages of nudes shot on the streets and subways of New York. The book then has a 14 page fashion section which closes with a studio shot of the actress holding a naked black child. The book then takes another unexpected turn and transports the viewer to Nazaré, a coastal village in Portugal. The last 42 pages of the book show fishermen and traditionally dressed locals, mostly at the seaside, with Haruko Wanibuchi appearing sporadically throughout.
