Aschaffenburg: Edition Reuss, 2023. Limited Collectors Edition. Hardcover. NEW, Edition Reuss, 2023, Text English, French, German. 12 x 8.5 inches (30 x 22 cm), oblong format, 128 pages. Ships from Hawaii. Kenichi Murata sometimes compares the girls' existence to the goddess Kannon (the Japanese goddess of compassion), angels, or other goddesses. The seemingly expressionless models show neither shyness nor guilt - not even when they bare their genitals and are alone with their nudity. Because they are divine beings, no ethical taboos or conventional barriers apply to them. Therefore, they feel and display their divinity without sin. Murata's photography exhibitions in Japan attract visitors of all ages, both men and women. (Text English, French, German).
