This is the rare first edition of Hajime Sorayama, published in 1989 under the original name Taco Verlagsgesellschaft — the early imprint of what would later become globally known as Taschen. Before the Taschen brand was formalised, Taco published a range of provocative and genre-pushing titles in art, photography, and erotica, and this volume stands as a defining example of that era. Inside, Sorayama’s now-iconic airbrushed fembots and hyperreal illustrations are presented in rich, full-page format, capturing his signature blend of eroticism, sci-fi, and surreal glamour. This edition helped solidify his cult status in Japan and abroad, and it remains a landmark in fantasy illustration and fetish art. Highly sought after by collectors, this edition predates Taschen's later reprints and reflects the bold, boundary-pushing aesthetic that defined Taco’s short-lived but influential run.
