SPERM PALACE: TOBA SF SEX MUSEUM
(TSUZUKI, KYOICHI) (MASUNO,MASATO). Tsuzuki, Kyoichi. Tokyo: ASPECT Corp., 2001. First Edition. Square 4to. Wrappers in Illustrated Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine./Fine.. np, profusely illustrated in color. Text in Japanese. This is Kyoichi Tsuzuki's amazing, totally wild photo essay on Japan's sadly defunct "Toba International House of Hidden Treasures - SF Future Museum". Opened adjacent to a railway station in 1981, this four story Museum/environment housed the extraordinary sex-related collections of items of the late designer and creator Masato Matsuno. With everything from black velvet paintings to Edo Period erotic tableaux reconstructed from customized manikins, the piece de resistance here is the documentation of the rooms depicting the hunting, sperm extraction, then disposal of humans by extraterrestrials! It closed in the year 2000, and this beautifully designed volume with its vivid color photographs that keeps its spirit alive truly must be seen to be believed. A brand new, most handsome example. 4-7572-0834-0 Inventory Number: 021075
