Japanese art Photo-Lithographs bythe famous Japanese homoerotic fetish artist Mishima Gō 三島剛 (1924-1981)- From the series "Mishima Go Book of Young Man"

The series was published by Daini Shobo in 1972 and is a portfolio of in total 24 gay portraits. Considered gay erotica, the images feature rugged young men with short cropped hair and, most of them with impressive full body tattoos

Mishima Go, was one of the first contemporary gay artists in Japan. He was an early contributor of illustrations to "Barazoku" (The Rose Tribe), the first commercial gay magazine in Japan, published by Daini Shobo in Tokyo in 1971. In 1974, Mishima Go founded his own gay magazine called "Sabu”, which was focused on images of masculine men, and was more explicitly pornographic than “Barazoku”

Works by Go Mishima are rare, considered as 'cult' by fans of the genre, and extremely sought after

Mishima Go was the best friend of the famous Japanese author Yukio Mishima, who committed seppuku (ritual suicide) in 1970
