Takato Yamamoto's "Altar of Narcissus" was originally published in 2002 with the first major reprint issued in 2007, and again in 2019. This is the NEW expanded edition with a black slipcase cover for 2023. Along with featuring new art not in previous editions, it comes signed by Yamamoto.
This book is widely popular as a collection of Yamamoto’s masterpieces. While carrying on the traditions of Edo Ukiyoe and Bishounen (beautiful youth) painting, it sublimates the romanticism of Pre-Raphaelite and European fantasy art of the fin de siècle as well as the sensuality and perversion of bondage and misery paintings.
