A Fallen Angel first appeared across fifty-six pages of the April 1965 issue of Camera Mainichi, a vivid debut for the twenty-seven-year-old Yoshihiro Tatsuki, with picture editing by Makoto Wada, poems by Shuji Terayama and commentary by Shinichi Kusamori. This book adds twenty-four previously uncollected frames to the original sixty-two. As Kusamori wrote, turn its pages as a raft adrift on waves: when the girl wraps the Stars and Stripes around her body and straddles a broomstick like a witch, do not read it as a critique of civilization but be a spectator of dreams. Tatsuki abandons the symbolism of intuitive feeling and composition, recording the continuous encounter of one girl's body and psychology — less a story than a document.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
