Complete with the publisher's scarce shipping case. Narahara Ikko made this series in the United States between 1970 and 1974 when he was rethinking his approach to photography. Many photographs were taken in 1972 as he drove from the East Coast to the West, writing in his notes: 'While we were driving across the flat Arizona desert, we felt as though we had been thrown out from the earth and thrust into another planet…. The landscape surrounding us there in the desert was ancient, but to be so informed of the age of something in geological terms is somewhat meaningless. For when one personally experiences the image, it is something altogether different and new as though it were just born. And so it was for us.' The final image, the only colour photograph in the book, shows the 1972 Apollo 17 launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
