Hajime Sorayama: Pin-up
(1984 - Graphic-sha Publishing) 
So far, this is the best presented collection of Sorayama's work on The List, 78 pages, with 68 of them being full- bleed and then another five bordered full-pagers and only another four being multi-image pages. That leaves nothing for text or captions in my early edition of the book (but later ones may be expanded with some commentary . . .). Unfortunately 28 of those full-bleed pages are used for 14 double-page spreads, of which only six could be said to make acceptable use of the book's gutter. There is nudity, along with leather, lingerie, 11 of his signature robotic/semi-robotic women (one of them being a Wonder Woman homage) and Marilyn Monroe shows up as a subject a couple of times. Some of the images are so suggestive of adult themes that I keep the book put away from children.
