Description: "Kowloon Walled City," published by Heibonsha, Japan, 2002, 162 pages, oblong hardcover in dust jacket, 12.5" by 9.25". Bilingual introduction and afterword in English and Japanese. Signed in front by Miyamoto. Second revised and expanded edition (with numerous previously unpublished images) of Miyamoto's inspired photo essay on the monstrous, labyrinthine building complex Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, now destroyed. Beautifully printed with 98 full-page images of chaotic infrastructure, squalid rooms, and labyrinthine passageways, brilliantly capturing a sense of dread, decay, and misery. A contemporary classic, and a rare signature. My highest recommendation. Out of print. In excellent condition save for bump to lower right corner and a tear and crease to the top left corner. Buyer to pay for item plus shipping.
