Hajime Sorayama (Taschen)
(1991 - Taschen) 
 An 84 page book, when you count the covers, with 63 dedicated to single images (two-thirds of those full-bleeds). Among those are seven double-page spreads, only one of which is still satisfying with the intrusion of the book's gutter. Another three pages display multiple-images. Finally, 10 pages are text, repeated in English, German & French, a short biography and a life-timeline of the artist. The artworks are not titled or captioned in any way. The chapters are entitled Dessous Érotiques, Sexy Robots, Wet Dreams and Domina. Other Sorayama collections appear on The List before this one, and while I haven't done a close count yet, I feel that there's a lot of repeats here - perhaps as much as a third to a half. A couple of the images selected for this book are suggestive enough of adult themes, that I keep the book put away from children.
