The smaller reprint version of `Persona` was my first exposure to Kikai. The print quality is as good as I would expect from any book, at any price. The work of course is brilliant – all 191 plates. Thoroughly recommended, and still available.

I do not know Kikai, but I know Kurt. Does that count? Skorj.

Hi Kurt,
You should look for the original version of “Persona”. The print quality is superb, but of course the book wasn’t cheap -around 10.000 Yen if I remember right and today it costs almost probably more at stores like “M”.

Please let me know when you have published your thoughts on Kikai. I am looking forward to read it.

Thanks for the reminder on the Wikipedia entry about Kikai. It’s well done. Hopefully there will be more on Japanese photographers at Wikipedia in the future. I am curious who the author of the text is? If you don’t want to reveal his name here I would be glad if you could send me an email.

And yes, “Persona” contains an essay by the filmmaker Wajda. Kikai had an exhibiton in Poland and maybe he met Wajda at that time.
