About
Nest of Dreams by Rokuzo Waku, published in 1990 by Banseisha, is a photography book featuring portraits of a diverse and unconventional range of subjects, such as dancers, bodybuilders, comedians, tattooed actresses, AV actresses, and elderly rugby players, among others. The book focuses on the contrast between beauty and ugliness, capturing the "shame" of humanity with a mysterious brightness, evoking the work of photographers like Diane Arbus. Waku, born in Osaka in 1957 and a graduate of Nihon University, had limited exposure in the 1980s but later gained recognition with his second photo book, Pathography / The Summer of Cremation.
