To camp 1. "Light on" was the first volume of a series of six books Tadayuki Kawahito had planned to do. This unusal photobook presents catchy pictures of women, often nude, in rooms, even in a market and...one man. Extracts of quotes by Frank Zappa and The Beatles added on the cover give to the photobook its tone : "good life good works issue" wrote Tadayuki Kawahito.

The photographer also made a book called The People of Varanasi, in 1975. In this work he captured portraits in one of the most sacred cities in India.

Softcover, saddle-stichted, 230 x 290 mm. First edition, 1972. Gravure printing. A bit of foxing on the spine, a little faded at the edges otherwise fresh copy. Extremely rare publication.
